Inmate Visitation & Guidelines

Each inmate is allowed one hour of free on-site visitation per week. Additional on-site visits can be done, but will be charged at the same rate as remote visitation. All visits are held at the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility located at 141 W Elm.  All visits will be video visits and must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. The first time a remote visitation user registers, they must be approved by Detention staff. This is only done Monday – Friday. An adult must accompany anyone under the age of 18. Visitors must produce a valid government issued ID such as: Driver’s License (DL), state ID card, passport or Military ID for identity verification. Children twelve (12) years of age or older must show a school ID or birth certificate. Follow the link below for more information on using video visitation.
