Northwestern Detention Center Visiting Hours (effective 7/7/2025) — what changed and admission cutoffs
Planning a visit to Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center? The weekday schedule changed on 7/7/2025, and the admission cutoffs are strict. Here's what you need to know — including why older notices may show different times.
As of 7/7/2025, weekday morning visits run Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Need to see someone before lunch? That's your window.
Afternoon visits are Monday through Friday, 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM (effective 7/7/2025). If you've been going by older times, note the later start and earlier end.
Weekend closure: Under the 7/7/2025 schedule, on-site visitation is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Morning admission cuts off at exactly 11:00 AM. Arrive after that and you won't get in - even though the session technically runs until 11:00 AM.
Afternoon admission ends at 3:15 PM sharp. Don't plan to show up at the last minute - they won't let you through.
- ✓ Visits are first-come, first-served.
- ✓ You must be on the inmate’s approved visitor list before you can be approved for a visit.
- ✓ Each on-site visit is up to 30 minutes.
Seen different afternoon hours online? An earlier notice (effective 4/15/2021) listed afternoon visits as 1:30 PM–3:00 PM with a 3:00 PM cutoff. That old info still floats around, even though the facility now posts different times.
Verify before you travel: The 7/7/2025 schedule (with the 2:00–3:15 PM afternoon session) is current, but outdated 2021 times still pop up in searches. A quick call before you leave can save a wasted trip.
