Visitation hours, limits, and scheduling across facilities
Visiting schedules vary, so check the schedule for your specific facility. Cache County Jail posts on-site visiting hours across weekdays and weekends, with visiting periods in the morning and evening on weekdays and longer daytime hours on Saturday and Sunday. Two free on-site visits are allowed per week, and each visiting period is 20 minutes long.
Some Utah jails require you to book video visits ahead of time. Weber County Jail states that eligible inmates may be allowed one or two 25-minute video visits per week depending on classification. Visitors must schedule at least one day in advance, either in the jail lobby or online through Securus. Weber publishes public visitation days and hours (no public visits on Sundays or Wednesdays) and limits the visiting area to three visitors per inmate at one time.
Tip: Some facilities post visitation rules online, at the jail, or provide them by request. Read them carefully. Failing to follow visitation rules can lead to a temporary or permanent suspension of your visiting privileges.
Common Questions
Q
My facility page says video visits only. Can I request an in-person visit?
Some facilities have moved away from regular in-person visits, but exceptions may be possible. Duchesne County Jail says regular in-person visits have been discontinued and that any in-person visit must be approved by the Jail Captain. They also state that visitation is meant to provide a safe atmosphere while supporting positive goals, and that violating visitation rules can lead to temporary or permanent suspension.
Q
How do I schedule a visit at the Utah State Correctional Facility?
UDC says the quickest way to schedule is by emailing uspscheduleavisit@utah.gov, and it also publishes a USCF phone number (801-522-7046). For visiting application questions, UDC lists uspvisiting@utah.gov. If you are driving to USCF for your visit, UDC also publishes directions from I-80 using the 7200 West exit and continuing to 8000 West.
Q
What are typical visiting time limits and visitor counts?
Time limits and headcounts are facility-specific, but Utah jails publish clear examples. Cache County Jail states on-site visits are 20 minutes long and that two free on-site visits are allowed per week. Weber County Jail’s visiting rules state only three visitors per inmate may be allowed into the visiting area at one time, and it also publishes core public visitation hours so you can plan around open days.
Q
Can clergy visit outside normal visiting rules?
Some facilities allow clergy visits, but they may require proof and specific eligibility. Cache County Jail states clergy must bring proof of clergy to the visit and must be the head of their congregation. If a clergy visit is denied or visitation is suspended at a facility that publishes an appeal process, follow that process (Duchesne County Jail publishes an appeals address to the Jail Commander).
