Getting on the Visitor List at Yadkin County Detention Center
Getting approved to visit at Yadkin County Detention Center comes down to meeting a few clear requirements and working around a limited weekly schedule. Here's what you need to know to get on the visitor list and avoid a wasted trip.
You must be on an administration-approved visitor list to visit someone at Yadkin County Detention Center. If your name isn't on that list, you won't be admitted - so confirm your status before making the drive.
Heads up: If you have any pending criminal charges, you will not be allowed into the Yadkin County Detention Center for visitation.
Bring photo ID. Staff check identification at the door, and you won't be admitted without it.
Bringing a child or teen? Anyone under sixteen (16) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Visitation happens on Thursdays only. Plan your approval check and travel around that single day each week.
There are two sessions on Thursdays: 1:30 pm–4:30 pm and 7:00 pm–9:00 pm. Miss the afternoon window? The evening session gives you a second chance the same day.
Each inmate gets one visit per week. With visits limited to Thursdays, plan ahead - especially if you're juggling work, childcare, or a long drive.
