Sutter County Jail Visiting Hours (examples by housing unit) — How to find your loved one’s schedule
Visiting hours at Sutter County Jail depend on housing unit. Your first step: find out where your loved one is housed, then match that to the current schedule.
For regular visits from family and friends, you'll follow the posted schedule and the jail's sign-up rules. Professional visits work differently - attorneys, probation officers, clergy, and law enforcement can visit 24 hours a day for official business with proper credentials.
Since visiting windows vary by housing classification, the jail publishes times by unit. Check the Sutter County Sheriff's visiting hours schedule page for the full list, then plan around the window for your loved one's unit.
Female General Population shows how unit-based scheduling works: visits are Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. If your loved one is in a different female housing classification, confirm the unit name first and match it to the schedule.
Note: Visits at Sutter County Jail are no-contact visits, so plan for a barrier-separated visit rather than in-person contact.
Male Single-Cell Population is another example where the unit matters. A‑Pod visits are Sunday and Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. B‑Pod visits are Sunday and Monday from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. If your loved one mentions "A‑Pod" or "B‑Pod," those labels are what you'll match to the schedule.
Plan around limits: Visits are limited to one 30‑minute visit per incarcerated person per day (except minimum custody), and only one visitor is allowed at a time (children don’t count toward that one-visitor limit).
Don't see your loved one's unit in the examples above? Go straight to the Sheriff's visiting-hours schedule and find the exact housing label matching their assignment. Not sure which unit they're in? Confirm that first - then pick the right day and time window.
One more thing: appointments aren't allowed. You need to show up before visiting hours and sign up in person. Late to sign up? You lose your visiting time. Build in extra time even if you already know the posted hours.
Plan Ahead
- ✓ Come to the jail before visiting hours to sign up (appointments aren’t allowed).
- ✓ Don’t cut it close - late sign-ups lose their visiting time.
- ✓ Expect a single 30-minute visit per incarcerated person per day (except minimum custody).
- ✓ Plan for only one visitor at a time (children don’t count toward that one-visitor limit).
- ✓ Expect a no-contact visit.
Need to coordinate a property release too? The jail handles those during normal business hours: 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Sunday, excluding holidays. That window overlaps with some visiting schedules, so map out your timing before you head over.
