Jail Visitation Rules: What Every Visitor Should Know
Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years
Visitation rules exist for a reason, and violating them, even unintentionally, can get your visitation rights revoked.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Don’t bring or accept anything from your loved one. Even passing a small item can be treated as contraband.
- Don’t agree to deliver messages to people outside the facility on their behalf.
- Don’t do favors that could put you or them in a difficult position.
Pay attention. If you notice signs that your loved one is being mistreated, changes in mood, unexplained injuries, or fear, speak up. You can report concerns anonymously.
Your visit matters to them. Protect it by knowing the rules. And if your loved one’s rights are being violated, we’re here to help.
