How Rockingham‑Harrisonburg Jail's Non‑Family Visitor List Works

Inmates at Rockingham‑Harrisonburg Jail can have two visitors who aren't immediate family. But those spots aren't automatic. You still need to be approved and placed on the inmate's visiting list before you can show up.

The jail keeps a tight grip on list changes. Only the inmate can update their non‑family visitors, and they can only do it once every ninety days. No last-minute swaps. If you're planning to visit, confirm you're actually on the list before you make the trip.

How Rockingham‑Harrisonburg Jail's Non‑Family Visitor List Works

Practical Tips

  • Confirm with the inmate that you’re approved and on their visiting list before you travel.
  • If you’re not on the list, ask the inmate to add you - and remember they can only change their non‑family list once every 90 days.
  • Bring a picture (photo) ID for check‑in.
  • Arrive 20 minutes before the scheduled start time to sign in; once visitation starts, late arrivals aren’t allowed.

Plan ahead: The inmate can only change non‑family visitors every 90 days. Confirm your status well before taking time off work or traveling.

  1. Ask the inmate to add you to their non‑family visitors - non‑family visitors have to be approved and placed on the inmate’s visiting list.
  2. Talk through timing with the inmate - the non‑family list can only be changed by the inmate once every ninety days, so a change may not be immediate.
  3. Verify you’re on the visiting list before you show up - if you aren’t on the inmate’s list, you won’t be able to visit.

Good to know: Visits are limited to thirty minutes, so even when you’re approved, plan for a short visit.
