Jail Visitation Guidelines
In Western Bail Bonds we realize that visiting someone in a correctional or holding
facility is not an everyday activity. Therefore we gathered a set of specific rules and
guidelines visitors are expected to follow, to make their visit at such a facility as pleasant
as possible.
• Some facilities require appointments for visitation so you may need to call in advance to
schedule one.
• An adult must accompany visitors under the age of 18.
• Any visitor bringing illegal contraband into the facility may be arrested.
• No alcohol, illegal drugs, weapons, tear gas dispensers, cameras or knives will be
allowed in the visiting area.
• Any visitor committing a criminal act anywhere on jail property is subject to arrest.
• Each facility sets their own visiting hours, limitation on the number of visits each week
and the number of people at each visit. Check the facility you will be going to for their
specific information.
• Once you leave the visitation area, your visit is considered terminated. You cannot return
to the visitation area that day.
• A picture ID will be required for each visitor.
• You may be required to check in as much as 30 minutes early for the appointment. Your
appointment will be canceled if you are not early. Check with the facility when
scheduling.
• Visitors must be dressed in appropriate attire. You can be denied visitation if your
clothing is considered offensive to others, refers to gang affiliations, displays
inappropriate comments or pictures or doesn’t cover sufficiently.
• A visitor can only visit with the inmate they signed up to visit.
• Usually smoking is not allowed in any part of jail including the lobby.
• Usually no food or drink is allowed in the lobby and visiting areas.
• You and your belongings are subject to search by correctional staff.
• All facilities reserve the right to terminate any visit if deemed necessary for security
purposes.
These are only general guidelines. Some facilities’ rules may be different and you should
check** with the facility you intend on visiting prior to arrival.
