How to Visit Facility
Visiting someone at Monroe County Jail is straightforward once you know the schedule and eligibility rules. Here's what you need to plan your visit and avoid getting turned away.
In-person visits at Monroe County Jail happen Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Here's the catch: each inmate can only receive visits on one of those days per week. Confirm which day your loved one is assigned before you go, then arrive during the 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM window.
Can't make the regular schedule? Special visits are possible, but you'll need to plan ahead. These require an appointment and must be approved by the Sheriff or Jail Administrator.
Before you plan a trip, confirm you're eligible. You'll need to fill out a visitor form, and you cannot be on probation or parole. The jail also won't allow visits if you're a victim, co-defendant, or potential witness in any case involving the person you want to see.
Video visits option: The facility uses CIDNET for video visits. To use video, voice, or messaging services through CIDNET, you must create an account and purchase data.
