• 2 min read Verified from official sources

Taylor County Detention Center limits who can enter the visitation area. Each inmate may have up to two adults and two children per visit. Any children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, so plan accordingly.

Inmates are allowed one visit per week, either Thursday or Saturday (not both). If multiple family members want to visit, you may need to rotate who goes each week to stay within the visitor limit.

Bring a photo ID. All adult visitors need to show one at check-in.

Items-to-leave

  • ✓ Handbags
  • ✓ Cell phones
  • ✓ Other personal items (leave them outside the facility since they are not allowed in the visitation area)

Dress simply and conservatively. If you're unsure whether an outfit is okay, err on the safe side. Visitors have been turned away at the door for dress code issues.

Reminder: TCDC reserves the right to deny visitation to anyone who doesn't follow the rules, including dress code violations.

Visitation at Taylor County Detention Center is by appointment only. Show up without scheduling first, and you'll be turned away.

  1. Call to make an appointment: Use 270-789-1909 to schedule your visit.
  2. Call during scheduling hours: Appointments can be made Monday through Thursday between 9:00 AM and 3:15 PM, and Friday between 9:00 AM and Noon.

  • ✓ Have your photo ID ready for check-in (adults)
  • ✓ Leave handbags, cell phones, and other personal items outside the facility
  • ✓ Confirm your group is within the limit: no more than two adults and two children per inmate
