White County Jail Weekend Visit Rules: When Children Can Visit and Who May Attend
Planning a weekend visit to White County Jail with kids? Two rules matter most: which weekends children can come, and how many people are allowed when children attend.
Children can visit White County Jail only on the 1st and 3rd weekends of each month. Show up on a different weekend with kids, and you'll likely be turned away. Check the calendar before deciding who's coming.
Note: This 1st/3rd-weekend rule is stated in the White County Sheriff’s Office materials - double-check the current policy before you go, since jail rules can be updated.
On child-visit weekends, the group size rules change. You can bring up to two adults and three children per visit. The jail defines "adult" as anyone 18 or older - so count teens accordingly when figuring out your group.
On other weekends, the standard rule applies: inmates get one 20-minute visit with up to three adult visitors (18+). This catches families off guard sometimes - bringing children doesn't just add people, it changes the entire allowed mix of adults and kids.
No contact visits: White County Jail does not allow contact visitation, so plan for a non-contact setup even on child-visit weekends.
S3
- ✓ If you’re visiting on a 1st or 3rd weekend with children, decide which two adults will attend, since child-visit weekends allow up to two adults and three children.
- ✓ If more adults want to see the person, consider rotating who comes on different visits, because the standard visit allows up to three adult visitors for the 20-minute session.
With only 20 minutes, think carefully about who attends. If you're bringing kids, choose adults who can keep things calm and focused. Talk to the children beforehand about what to expect - you don't want confusion eating into your limited time.
- Read the White County Jail rules publication - The White County Sheriff’s Office provides a downloadable “White County Jail Rules, Regulations, Policies and Procedures” publication.
- Match your visit to the calendar - Confirm whether the weekend you’re planning is the 1st or 3rd weekend of the month, since children are only allowed on those weekends.
Before you go, review the county's published rules to confirm the details. Pay attention to how visitors are counted (remember: 18+ means adult), and check any procedures for visitors so you're not scrambling at the door.
Tip: If anything in the published rules is unclear or seems out of date, contact the jail or the White County Sheriff’s Office directly for clarification before you go.
