General visitation at Smith County Jail runs from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Your visit will be scheduled within that afternoon window, depending on availability and the order visitors are processed that day.

You need to sign up the same day you plan to visit. Sign-ups happen at the Low-Risk Facility between 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM. Don't show up expecting to walk straight in without registering first.

Women's visitation days are Tuesday and Sunday. If the person you're visiting is housed on the women's side, plan for one of those days during the normal afternoon hours.

Men's visitation days are Monday and Saturday. These are the only days for visiting someone on the men's side, and visits happen during the usual 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM window.

Here's how to put it together: First, pick the right day based on who you're visiting (Monday and Saturday for men, Tuesday and Sunday for women). Visitation runs from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. You also need to sign up at the Low-Risk Facility that same day between 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM. Miss the sign-up window, and you won't get in, even if you arrive during visiting hours.

Planning tip: Arrive early enough to complete same-day sign-up (12:30 PM to 4:30 PM) before the visiting window fills up. Visits are limited to 20 minutes, so expect a short window and possible waiting.

Each visit is limited to 20 minutes. Time goes fast once you're seated, so prioritize your most important updates first.

Trustee visitation follows a separate evening schedule: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with sign-up from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. If the person you're visiting has trustee status, use these evening hours instead of the general afternoon schedule.
