Visiting an Inmate

As of Tuesday, May 16, 2023, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has resumed normal visitation procedures. 

      The inmate shall provide the names and dates of birth of family and friends. These requests are then pre-screened and pre-approved prior to the incarcerated individual being allowed to schedule a visit. The maximum number of visitors per inmate per visiting period shall be three (3). Two (2) adults, with one (1) child or one (1) adult with two (2) children may visit an inmate at the same time, provided they register together during the registration process. Maintaining positive community ties is an important component to an inmate’s eventual return to society, and to that end, inmates are encouraged to have family and friends visit.

VISITOR RULES & REGULATIONS:

  • Visitors will be allowed on the premises no more than ten minutes prior to the visiting period.  Upon arrival, visitors must have completed the “Inmate Visiting Request Form” online and uploaded a valid form of identification and as well as a copy of a birth certificate for any individual under the age of 17.

  • Visitors 17 years of age or older must show proper photo identification upon arrival to visit.  A driver’s license or other  photo  identification issued by the Register of Motor Vehicles, a Welfare Card, or Military Identification Card  shall be  considered acceptable. Other forms of photo identification, such as a passport, may also be  considered acceptable on a case-by-case basis. Identification cards issued by a school, company, or organizations shall not be  considered acceptable.

  • Youths under the age of 17 shall be  accompanied by their parents or legal guardian and a copy of their birth certificate must have been previously uploaded online. 

  • Visitors must dress appropriately. Any visitor showing signs of recent drug  or alcohol use will be  denied visitation.

  • Visitors must lock all personal items in lockers provided. There is a twenty-five cent  fee for the use of the lockers, which will be returned to you upon opening the locker to retrieve your belongings. Bringing contraband – guns, weapons, controlled substances, or any other  prohibited item – to the facility may result in the loss of visiting privileges, as well as criminal prosecution.

    Visitors who violate visiting rules may have visiting privileges suspended and could face criminal prosecution.
