What to Bring (and What to Leave Home) for Your First Visit to Sheboygan County Jail
Your first visit to Sheboygan County Detention Center goes smoother when you show up with the right paperwork and leave the wrong items in your car. Here's a quick packing guide so you don't get turned away at the door.
Before you head in, make sure you're registered with Securus. Sheboygan County Detention Center requires all visitors to complete Securus registration - even for on-site visits. This has been the policy since 12/05/22, so don't expect to sign up at the counter when you arrive.
Bringing a child? Plan ahead for that first visit. You'll need the child's birth certificate to confirm their identity and your relationship. Show up without it, and the child may not be allowed in.
Leave these at home (or locked in your vehicle): No cell phones, cameras, or recording devices are allowed during visitation.
Dress like you're going to an appointment where you want to be taken seriously. The jail requires conservative, respectable attire - staff can deny entry if your clothing is too revealing. Skip the low-cut tops and anything that shows midriff. Also avoid images depicting drugs, drug paraphernalia, or gang activity. Those will cost you your visit.
Tip: If you’re on the fence about an outfit, change before you go - officers can deny entry based on attire.
Checkin Tips
