When you call White County Jail to confirm visitation, focus on the details that most often get people turned away. Ask about current visiting days and hours, how many visitors are allowed at once, and whether visits are first-come/first-served or by appointment. Confirm ID rules (including whether expired IDs work), policies for minors, and any restrictions based on custody level or disciplinary status. Ask about the dress code and property rules too. Get clarity on what you can bring inside (keys, ID, paperwork), what must stay in your vehicle, and whether lockers are available. If there are health screening requirements or temporary restrictions in place, have them explain those so you know what to expect at the door.
