Visiting Hours and Scheduling at St. Louis Justice Center: What You Need to Know

Social visits at the City Justice Center run seven days a week, Monday through Sunday. Each visit lasts one hour. Sessions are scheduled within the daily window of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. - your assigned time will fall somewhere in that range.

Note: Visiting periods begin promptly. If you arrive late, you won’t be permitted to visit.

Here's the key thing: at the City Justice Center, the incarcerated person schedules the visit - not you. They request dates and times through their Housing Unit Officer, and that request must be made two days in advance. Same-day or next-day visits aren't an option. If you're coordinating travel or work schedules, plan ahead. Talk with your loved one early so they can submit the request in time.

Social visits are limited to one per week. You also need to be pre-approved through the Visitor Request process before any visit can happen. Even if your loved one requests a time, you won't get in unless you're already on the approved visitor list.
