How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Northampton County Jail is structured, so planning ahead helps. Each visit is limited to one adult (18+) and up to two children. Sign in at the building where the inmate is housed: Main Prison, Tower Lobby, Work Release, or West Easton. Visits run 45 minutes. Sign-ups for the main prison and tower begin at 6:30 A.M., while work-release sign-ups open 30 minutes before the scheduled visit time. Adult visitors must present current photo ID showing a current address, and you can only be on one inmate's visitation list. Late arrivals get cancelled, so arrive early. Park behind the jail, in the parking garage, or on the street. Dress code is enforced—jeans and slacks are fine, but skirts, dresses, and shorts must be within two inches above the knee. Prohibited clothing and contraband aren't allowed.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
