| VISITATION |
| |
The Leon County Jail encourages visitation for the inmates incarcerated here. We firmly believe that ties to family and friends are extremely important. However, there are rules that we need to make you aware of so your visiting privileges are not denied, terminated or suspended.

VISITATION HOURS: |
| Visitation hours are Monday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Visitation will resume again after official count and shift change and run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Lobby Doors are open 8:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. |

VISITATION RULES: |
| During the admission process, the Booking Unit will enter (at least one, and up to five) visitors names chosen by the inmate, into the system for immediate approval to visit. Requests for visitor changes will only be made the last day of each month for the next calendar month. Visitation Forms will be provided by the Pod Officer the evening of the last day of each month and collected by the Pod Officer after the evening meal. Each Inmate is allowed five (5) Thirty (30) minutes visits not to exceed 2 ½ hours per week. Inmates who are being confined in special housing pods are restricted to two (2) visits per day, not to exceed two and one half (2 1/2) hours per week.
Individuals who are authorized to conduct an inmate visit are only allowed to visit the designated inmate and will only be allowed to visit one inmate per day. Split visits (visits of more than one inmate) shall not be allowed and are grounds to have ALL visitation privileges revoked. All visitors must be at least 16 years of age to visit.
For security reasons inmates admitted to a hospital will not be permitted visitors unless approved by the Sheriff, the Jail Administrator or his/her designee. |
