Scheduling and rules for in-person visits
- Get approved through KDOC. Some facilities state visitors must be approved through the KDOC application process.
- Create and use your ICSolutions account. Some facilities also require you to be approved on the ICSolutions site.
- Schedule early. KDOC states in-person visits must be scheduled at least 72 hours before visitation begins for that week, and one facility notes visits must be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance (and no sooner than three weeks before the visit day).
For county jail visits, always check the facility's posted schedule and check-in window before you drive across the state. One Kansas county jail publishes pod-specific visiting times and a defined check-in window (for example, an F Pod schedule with check-in from 1:15 pm to 2:15 pm for a 1:30 pm to 3 pm visit). For visitation rules or questions, call the receptionist at (620) 309-2000.

Common Questions
Q
How do I register to visit a KDOC facility and do I have to pay to register?
For KDOC visitation, ICSolutions materials state that registration is mandatory and there is no cost to register. Some KDOC facility instructions also say you must be approved through the KDOC application process, create an ICSolutions account, and be approved on that site as well. In-person visitation is listed as no-cost.
Q
Are offsite video visits free for visitors?
Not always. ICSolutions materials warn that offsite visits charge the visitor’s ICSolutions account at the time you schedule the visit, even though in-person visitation is listed as no-cost.
Q
What identification do I need to bring for an in-person visit?
Bring valid, non-expired government-issued photo ID. Some visitation rules also tell you to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow time for check-in processing.
