How to Get on an Inmate's Visitation List at Wise County Jail
Visiting someone at Wise County Jail? You'll need two things: your name on the inmate's visitation card and acceptable picture ID.
Wise County Jail requires your name and personal information on the inmate's visitation card before you can visit. Showing up with just an ID won't work - you have to be on that card first. The jail's rules make this clear, though they don't spell out exactly how someone gets added. Your best bet: confirm your status before making the trip.
Reminder: Don’t travel to Wise County Jail expecting to be admitted until you’ve confirmed you’re listed on the inmate’s visitation card.
Anyone 17 or older needs picture ID to visit. Staff check at the door, so don't forget it - without acceptable identification, you'll be turned away.
- ✓ Any state-issued card (picture ID)
- ✓ Driver’s license
- ✓ Military ID
- ✓ Passport
- ✓ Your ID must show the correct picture and must not be altered in any way
Kids 16 and under can't visit alone. They must be accompanied by an approved adult visitor, or the visit won't happen.
What if your ID isn't on the approved list - or staff flag an issue with it? A shift supervisor must approve any alternative form of identification before you can visit. If you think your ID is reasonable but it's being rejected, politely ask whether a supervisor can take a look before you leave.
Tip: IDs that look altered or don't match your face may be rejected. Not sure yours will pass? Ask for a shift supervisor review - approval is required for any non-listed ID anyway.
The jail's visitation rules state you must be on the inmate's card, but they don't publish the exact steps for getting added. Before you travel, check with the inmate to make sure you're listed. Then call the jail to confirm any additional steps or timing requirements.
