How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Richmond County Jail offers two-way, real-time video visitation. Every visit must be scheduled and approved ahead of time, and each inmate gets one visit per week. Video hours run Monday–Friday, 09:00–11:30 and 12:30–16:00. Schedule your visit the day before—you can book up to one week in advance. Visitor registration takes up to 72 business hours for approval or denial, so start early. On visit day, check in at one of the two kiosks in the Visitor Center at least 15 minutes before your time slot. Late arrivals may only get the remaining time or be turned away entirely, and only scheduled visitors can enter the video visitation area. All visits are monitored and may be recorded. Visitors can be searched and denied entry for intoxication or prohibited items—no cell phones, recording devices, smoking, eating, or drinking allowed.
