How to Add People or Cancel an Already-Scheduled Visit at Mitchell County Jail

Whether you're adding someone new or canceling entirely, start by locating the visit you already scheduled through GDC's visitation tools. Once you find it, you can manage that specific appointment - no need to submit a brand-new request and hope it lands on the same date and time.

• ✓ Confirm you’re staying within the facility’s visitor limits for that visit before you try to add anyone.

• ✓ Keep the number of visitors within whatever limits apply to that scheduled visit.

Timing trips people up more than anything else. For weekend visits, remember the Wednesday 5:00 PM cutoff. For state holidays, plan around the 5:00 PM deadline three days before. And if you're canceling, don't wait until the last minute - use the
