How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Sedgwick County Jail only offers video visitation, and you'll need to schedule at least 24 hours ahead. Remote visits run seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, but certain times are blocked: shift change (2:30–3:30 PM), meal service (11:30 AM–1:00 PM and 5:30–7:00 PM), and Sedgwick County observed holidays. First-time remote visitors must be approved by Detention staff before scheduling—and approvals only happen Monday through Friday. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID like a driver's license, state ID, passport, or Military ID. Kids 12 and older need a school ID or birth certificate. Professional visits follow a separate schedule with additional rules and equipment restrictions.
