Visitation at Wichita County Jail Downtown Facility

To visit an inmate at this facility, you must strictly abide by the rules. Any disobedience may lead to a bar from visitation, up to the discretion of the jail staff. Visitation is not a right, it is a privilege. Inmates in solitary confinement or on the “keep separate” list are still allowed visitation, although they are kept to Thursdays. If you are unsure if an inmate is allowed to receive visitors, you can always contact the jail to confirm their information.

Visitation at this facility is based on the alphabetical order of the inmates’ last names. Inmates who have last names beginning with A through L are granted visits on Tuesdays, while inmates whose last names begin with M through Z are given Wednesdays for visits.

Visitation hours are the same for each day. Visits are allowed from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, with the sign up period ending at 7:00 pm. Inmate activities will not be interrupted for visits. Instead, visitors will be alerted when an inmate’s schedule is open for a visit.

What you should bring

When visiting an inmate, it is important to bring your valid, government-issued photo ID with you. If you do not have proper identification, you will not be allowed to visit.

You are absolutely not allowed to bring any kind of electronic device with you during your visit. This includes cell phones. This rule applies to everywhere, including the lobby of the jail. It is best to just leave your electronic devices in your car when you arrive.

You are not allowed to bring money for inmates. If you would like to deposit money in an inmate’s account, you may do so through the services offered. Giving money directly to inmates is strictly prohibited.

Wear appropriate clothing. This means no clothing that accentuates the form, shows cleavage or is otherwise provocative. Sleeveless shirts are not allowed. It is up to the jail staff to determine if your clothing is appropriate. If you do not know if your outfit will be acceptable, it is a good idea to just change.

Other things to keep in mind

Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. This includes violent outbursts, slamming the phone down, loud talking, smoking, eating, drinking, or other disruptive activities. Again, this is up to the discretion of the staff.

Note that certain inmates will not be allowed visits at the same time. If this is the case for the inmate that you are visiting, you will be notified when your visit is allowed to commence.
