Visitation
All visits at Sutter County Jail are non-contact. Each incarcerated person gets one 30-minute visit per day, with only one visitor at a time (children excluded). The jail guarantees at least two visits totaling one hour per person each week. There are no appointments. You'll need to sign up before visiting hours begin, and if you show up late, you forfeit your time. Visiting hours vary by housing unit. For example, female general population visits run Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., while male single-cell (A-Pod) visits are Sunday and Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Before you go, confirm ID requirements, approved-visitor status, and any child-accompaniment rules.
