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. The visits are all only 1/2 hour long and the inmates all have one day, one evening, and one weekend visit. 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.

To find out the visitation time, you will need to know the module and the bed number for the inmate you're wishing to visit. It is the inmate's responsibility to inform his/her visitor's of this information.

 

Jail Visitation

It is the policy of the Licking County Sheriff's Office to encourage inmates to maintain contact with their families and friends through regular visits. Visiting is scheduled to allow such access on a regular basis, limited only by staff demands and the visiting schedule. All inmates shall be afforded the opportunity for regularly scheduled visitation, including daytime, evening and weekend hours, except where restrictions apply.

 

Visitation is provided for inmates three times a week in 30-minute intervals. disciplinary inmates are provided visitation one time per week, on Saturday or Sunday, with family members only.

 

The cancellation of regular visitation hours due to emergency situations or severe weather conditions will resume with the next scheduled visitation as soon as the Jail Administrator clears such situations.

 

Rules for Visitors

  • All visitors are required by law to register on the Visitor Registration Log. A valid photo ID with birth date is required to register. If the ID does not include a birth date, other supporting documentation must be provided, such as a certified birth certificate, along with the photo ID.
