Visiting Potter County Jail with Kids: Rules Parents Should Know
Planning a visit with kids at Potter County Detention Center? The main thing to know is how many people can go in together. The jail allows a maximum of two adults per visit. Bringing children changes the math: one adult can visit with children under the age of 16, or two adults can visit together - but not both. You can't have two adults plus kids all at once.
Why does
- ✓ Bring proper photo identification for the adult who is checking in.
- ✓ If you’re accompanied by juveniles under 16, you’re responsible for their behavior during the visit.
Baby Items Banned
- ✓ Glass baby bottles
- ✓ Strollers
- ✓ Toys for babies
These rules shape how you plan your day, especially with an infant or toddler. Glass baby bottles, strollers, and baby toys aren't allowed inside - arrive with as little as possible. The visitation area also bans container-type items like purses and bags. That includes diaper bags. Leave them in your car or outside the detention center before heading in.
Purses, packages, umbrellas, bags, and anything that can hold other items aren't allowed in the visitation area. Leave them in your car before you go in.
- ✓ Leave your cell phone in your car or outside the detention center.
- ✓ Leave cameras of any kind in your car or outside the detention center.
- Show up early enough to register - visitor registration begins 15 minutes before visiting hours start, and you’ll want a little buffer time to get everyone settled.
- Use that time to simplify what you’re carrying - before you head into the visitation area, make sure anything that can’t go in is already left in your car or outside the detention center.
- ✓ Leave cell phones and cameras in the car or outside the detention center.
- ✓ Don’t bring purses, bags, packages, umbrellas, or other container-like items into the visitation area.
- ✓ If you’re visiting with a baby, plan around the ban on glass baby bottles, strollers, and baby toys.
- ✓ Keep what you bring to a minimum so you’re not stuck returning items to the car at the last second.
Before you go: Bring a valid photo ID for the adult checking in. Leave phones, cameras, and bags outside the visitation area. If you're bringing kids under 16, you're responsible for keeping them in check during the visit.
