McDonald County Jail Visitation

Visitation at the McDonald County Detention Center is Saturday only. Male inmates get visits from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Female inmates get visits from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is first come, first serve. A maximum of two visitors per inmate is allowed. Visitors must wait outside until the scheduled time starts. A valid photo ID is required to get in.

Visits can be denied for several reasons. Showing up under the influence of drugs or alcohol will get you turned away. Refusing to show a picture ID is another reason. Failing to keep children from causing disruptions, wearing transparent or revealing clothing, and any conduct the jail staff considers disruptive can all lead to a denied visit.

• Valid photo ID required for all visitors
• Two visitors maximum per inmate
• Saturday only, no weekday visits
• Males: 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
• Females: 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
