Aroostook County Jail Visiting Hours. Approval, Schedule & Rules

Step 1. Get on the Approved Visitor List

Before you can schedule a visit, you typically need to be added to the detainee’s approved visitor list. Call the jail at (207) 532-7317 to ask how this works for a specific person, what information you’ll need to provide, and how long approval takes. Aroostook County’s official website doesn’t publish a standalone visitation policy page, so calling ahead is the most reliable way to start.

Reported Visiting Hours

Several third-party jail information sites list the following visiting schedule for Aroostook County Jail:

Day	Reported hours
Monday - Friday	7:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Saturday	7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Sunday	7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

We could not confirm these exact hours from an official Aroostook County document at the time of this guide’s last verification. Treat this table as a starting point, not a guarantee, and call (207) 532-7317 to confirm the current schedule before you travel, especially since the jail’s own facility assessment describes ongoing space and scheduling pressure from overcrowding.

In-Person and Video Visits

Some third-party sources describe both on-site lobby visits scheduled by staff and remote video visits through a platform commonly identified as ViaPath or ConnectNetwork. We could not confirm whether Aroostook County Jail currently offers video visitation, or which specific platform it uses, from an official county source. Ask about both options when you call to schedule.

ID and What to Bring

Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID, which is standard practice at every Maine county jail. Aroostook County’s official website doesn’t publish a specific accepted-ID list or dress code for visitors. Call (207) 532-7317 before your visit to confirm current requirements, especially if you’re planning to bring a minor.

Visitor Limits

We could not confirm a specific limit on the number of visitors per visit, or the number of visits allowed per week, from an official Aroostook County source. Ask about current limits when you call to schedule, since these details can vary and change without being reflected on third-party sites.

What’s Not Allowed

Aroostook County’s official website doesn’t publish a detailed conduct policy for visitors. As with any county jail, expect restrictions on personal items brought into the visiting area, and expect a visit to be denied or ended for disruptive behavior. Ask about specific restrictions, like phones, bags, or outerwear, when you call.

Getting There

Aroostook County Jail is at 15 Broadway in Houlton, at the corner of Military and Broadway Streets, in the southern part of Aroostook County. Because Aroostook is Maine’s largest county by land area, families coming from towns farther north, like Presque Isle, Caribou, or Fort Kent, should plan for a significant drive. Call (207) 532-7317 if you need directions or want to ask about accessibility accommodations.

If Your Family Member Transfers

Aroostook County Jail’s own 2025 Needs Assessment Report describes a building that’s out of date and doesn’t meet current space standards, and the county has spent several years studying whether to build a new jail, possibly in a different part of the county. If you can’t confirm your family member is still at this facility, check the inmate search guide before you make the trip.

No Official Handbook or Named Visitor Form Found

We checked for a facility-specific inmate or family handbook PDF and a specific, named visitor application form published by Aroostook County. Neither was confirmed as of this guide’s last verification date. The county’s official website covers the jail mainly through general Sheriff’s Office pages and public jail-planning documents, instead of a family-facing handbook or a downloadable visitor form. Call (207) 532-7317 for anything not covered on this page.
