Visitation Guidelines and Hours

You are asked not to visit a facility if you are feeling sick. You will need to self-screen for symptoms when you arrive. Visiting is subject to closure at a facility if there are infection concerns.

Scheduling is web-based, and the system allows you to search for available dates and times. Each DOC facility has a link on its visiting page. You can also call a facility to schedule visits. You can also use the “No Wait Inside” scheduling system. When you arrive, click the “arrival” button through your confirmation email. The staff will be notified of your arrival in the parking lot. You will be sent a confirmation when you can enter the facility lobby. Look up the prison name of the county to find the prison or jail you are visiting. Each facility has a schedule.

Most jails and prisons operate and manage temporary holding rooms for housing prisoners and suspects pending the formal booking process.
The county jail or prison will provide suitable jail clothing that does not have distinctive marks, underclothing, linen and bedding, towels, and medical aid if necessary.
Mugshots
Mugshots or booking photographs are portraits of a person from the shoulder up. These are typically taken after a suspect is arrested. Mugshots are usually a front view and a side view. They can be public records and accessed by family and friends.
