How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting a juvenile resident at Newport News City Jail is more restricted than standard visitation. Only parents, legal guardians, and grandparents can visit, and you'll need ID to check in. Report to the Auxiliary Control Room for processing, which includes a wand search before entering the visitation area. Leave your phone, keys, purse, coat, and other belongings in a locker outside visitation. Parents or legal guardians get two visits per week, with special rules for residents who have children and level 4 residents. If you need a non-contact option, the Jail Annex has free video kiosks—you'll need a Securus account and must schedule online. At-home video visits may also be available by appointment. Confirm ID requirements, registration, dress code, and scheduling windows before you go.
