Visiting Clinton County Jail

Two Visits a Week, Set by Pod

Each person held gets two one-hour visits a week, no more than one a day. The day and time depend on their pod:

Pod	Visiting times
A Pod	Monday 9:40, 12:00 and 1:10; Friday 8:30
C Pod	Monday 8:30; Tuesday 9:40, 12:00 and 1:10
D Pod	Tuesday 8:30; Thursday 9:40, 12:00 and 1:10
Med/Max	Thursday 8:30; Friday 9:40, 12:00 and 1:10

Each visit lasts an hour. Visiting days and times are also posted in the housing units and the lobby.

ID

Bring one of:

• A valid photo driver’s license or non-driver ID
• A valid photo passport
• A photo Social Services ID with your birth date
• A photo school ID with your birth date, plus a copy of your birth certificate
• A temporary paper license, with a birth certificate and photo ID

Children and newborns need a birth certificate.

Visitors Under 18

They come with a parent or legal guardian, or bring a Visitor Registration Form filled out and notarized by one, plus proper ID.

Dress Code

Not allowed:

• Clothing with lots of metal (buttons, zippers)
• Hooded sweatshirts, sleeveless shirts, halter or tank tops
• White T-shirts
• Miniskirts: skirts must reach below the knee
• Underwire bras, mesh, tight or see-through clothing

All hair items come out before the visiting room. The Lobby Officer decides on anything borderline.

Search

Bags and other items go in a lobby locker or your car. Everyone passes a metal detector and a hand wand. If you have a pacemaker or prosthetic, tell the Lobby Officer first and bring documentation.

No food, drinks or pets, and children stay on a parent’s lap.

Days Their Pod Isn’t Visiting

With two visits a week at most, set by pod, most days pass without one. Pigeonly covers those days: send a letter or photos from your phone, and we print them and mail them to the jail in Plattsburgh.
