Inmate Communications & Commissary

Personal

After an initial 48-hour quarantine period, inmates are able to receive one personal visit per week. Visiting hours are Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 9 pm. Visitors do not need to be placed on a pre-approved list. Visitors will need to clear a metal detector and show valid, government-issued identification. Please refer to the jail’s Personal Visitation Policy for more information and guidelines.

Visitation Status Updates

As a courtesy, the Franklin County Jail will make every effort to post visitation status updates on the Franklin County Jail Facebook page when possible. Please note that these updates are provided for convenience only. Jail operations can change quickly due to institutional needs. As a result, the visitation status posted on Facebook may change without notice. Visitors are encouraged to call the jail before traveling to confirm visitation status. Upon arrival, all visitors must comply with the facility’s current operational status and any restrictions in effect at that time. We appreciate your understanding as we balance visitation with the safe and secure operation of the Franklin County Jail.

Professional

Inmates are also able to receive visits from attorneys, law enforcement, clergy, social services agencies and other qualified professionals. Professional visiting hours are Monday through Friday from 7 am to 11 am and from 1 pm to 9 pm. Please refer to the jail’s Professional Visitation Policy for more information and guidelines.

You may place cash or credit card deposits in an inmate’s accounts through a kiosk in the jail’s lobby or you may make electronic deposits by calling 866-345-1884 or by visiting www.accesscorrections.com.
