| How to look up an inmate's visitation schedule |
| To look up an inmate's visitation schedule, you will need to make sure you know where the inmate is being housed in our facility. To do this you must first click on the Jail Inmate List on the Sheriff's Office site, and then scroll down until you find the inmate's name and note their Housing Unit and Bed Number. Then close that window and click on the Jail Inmate Visitation link and click on the Visitation Schedule. At the bottom of the table are tabs indicating each Housing Unit, click on the appropriate Housing Unit, find the inmate's bed number and wherever it falls in the table indicates their visit times. The top of the table indicates the day of the week; the left side of the table indicates the time. Remember, they can be moved in the facility at any time so you should always check to make sure their visit times haven't changed. |
