Inmate Visits

The following information is an excerpt from the official inmate handbook given to each inmate booked into the facility. 

Personal Visits
You are allowed one 30-minute non-contact visit per week while you are in medium or maximum security housing.  The visiting week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.  If you are on disciplinary segregation status, you may have visitation privileges unless the disciplinary hearing officer as a sanction has restricted the privilege.

Visitors should go to:

    Jefferson County Detention Facility
    200 Jefferson County Parkway
    Golden, CO 80401
    (Detentions Lobby)
    Directions

Medium- and maximum-security inmates will be allowed one visit per week.

Minimum-security inmates will be allowed two visits per week.

Juvenile inmates will be allowed three visits per week.

Inmate workers may only receive visits during regular visiting times, during the inmate worker's non-working hours.

Visits are allowed daily between 9:00 - 10:30 a.m., 1:00 - 4:00 p.m., and 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

You are allowed no more than three (3) visitors at a time in the visiting area.

All adult visitors, 18 years of age or older, must provide proof of identification, bearing his or her photograph, issued by a government agency.  Children may visit only if an adult accompanies them.

No previous inmate of the Jefferson County Detention Facility will be permitted to visit within 60 days of release.

Visitors must be appropriately dressed.  Shirts and shoes are required.  No clothing is allowed that may represent any specific club or organization known to be involved in criminal activity.  No form fitting, suggestive or revealing clothing will be permitted.  Persons inappropriately dressed will not be allowed to visit.

No gifts or items may be exchanged during visitation.

If you or your visitor abuse visiting privileges, display any misconduct or become a threat to safety and security, your visit will be immediately terminated and you may lose your visitation privilege through disciplinary action.

Professional Visits
Attorneys, probation and parole officers, and law enforcement officials are considered professional visitors.  These people are allowed contact visits with you during any reasonable business hour after presenting proper credentials and identification.  Clergy and bondsmen will be permitted non-contact visits only.  Attorney investigators may have a contact visit with an inmate only after authorization by the administrative sergeant, otherwise they will be permitted non-contact visits only.

Inmates will not be served a meal in a contact-visiting booth during extended professional visits.
