What to Bring (and What to Leave Home) for Your First Visit to Sheboygan County Jail
Your first visit goes a lot smoother when you show up with the right paperwork and leave the wrong items in the car. Here's a practical, Sheboygan County Detention Center specific guide to what to bring, what to wear, and what will get you turned away.
Before you go, make sure every person who plans to visit is registered with Securus. Sheboygan County Detention Center requires registration for all visitors, even for on-site visits.
Bringing a child? Pack their birth certificate for the first visit. Having it ready can save you a wasted trip if staff need it to confirm the child is allowed in.
Dress conservatively and respectably. Officers here have discretion to turn visitors away for clothing that's too revealing. That includes low-cut tops, shirts that expose any midriff area, or anything considered provocative.
Watch your graphics and logos, too. Clothing depicting drugs, drug use, drug paraphernalia, or gang activity is restricted and can get your visit denied.
Leave your devices behind: No cell phones, cameras, or recording devices are allowed during visitation.
If kids are coming along, handle two big prep items early: registration and documents. Every visitor (including children) needs to be registered with Securus, and parents must bring the child's birth certificate on that first visit.
Arrival Checkin Tips
- ✓ Register all visitors with Securus before you head in (this applies even for on-site visits).
- ✓ Arrive early so you have time to get through the check-in process.
- ✓ Bring identification so you can verify who you are at check-in.
Do two things before you leave home and you'll avoid most first-visit headaches: complete the Securus registration for every visitor, and be ready to confirm your identity at check-in. That combination keeps the focus on the visit, not the front desk.
