You'll go through a metal detector before entering. Everyone does - law enforcement is the only exception. If you don't clear, a deputy will search you before letting you proceed.
Warning: Falsifying identification to get into the facility, or attempting (even unsuccessfully) to bring contraband to an inmate, can lead to termination, suspension, or denial of your visiting privileges.
- Bring proper photo ID - You’ll need photo identification (like a driver’s license, military ID, school ID, or law enforcement ID) before you can visit.
- Plan for kids’ ID rules - Children under 18 don’t have to show ID, but they must be with an adult who has valid photo ID.
- Strip down what you’re carrying - Before you enter, secure your belongings in the lobby lockers; don’t bring keys, cell phones, money, or food items into the visit.
- Assume you won’t get a second chance - Once your visit starts, you won’t be allowed to take items back with you during the visit.
- Leave anything questionable behind - If you’re unsure whether something counts as contraband, don’t bring it.
