Which Days Can You Visit? Yakima County Jail's Housing Unit Schedule Explained

Public visiting at Yakima County Jail is limited, so plan ahead. Each inmate gets two 30-minute public visits per week. Miss your unit's eligible days, and you could be waiting until the next window opens.

The jail publishes a housing-unit-to-day schedule so you can figure out which days apply based on where someone is housed. I've used that same unit/day mapping (the one shown alongside inmate look-up information) below, so you can quickly match the unit name to the correct visiting days.

Unit Examples

• ✓ 2nd Floor North Units G–M - Monday and Thursday
• ✓ 2nd Floor South Units A–F - Tuesday and Friday
• ✓ Annex Units A–F - Monday through Friday
• ✓ YCCC Pods A–C - Monday through Friday

If something doesn't line up - your loved one says they moved, the unit name doesn't match the list, or you're unsure which days apply - call the visit scheduling line at 509-574-2929 to confirm. Public visits must be scheduled at least two business days in advance by phone, so waiting until the last minute can cost you the visit.

1. Call the scheduling line - Use 509-574-2929 during posted hours so you can talk through the current options.
2. Ask whether the inmate’s unit changed - Confirm the current housing unit name and which visiting days apply to that unit.
3. Reconfirm your appointment details - Before you hang up, repeat back the scheduled day so you’re not planning around an outdated unit assignment.

Can't find the unit name? Start with the jail's inmate look-up information - that's also where the county posts the unit-to-day visiting schedule. If the unit still isn't clear or doesn't match the published mapping, calling is usually the fastest way to get the correct unit name and visiting days.
