Visiting Saratoga County Jail

Your Day Depends on Their Cell

Visiting times are set by the person’s housing unit and cell or bed number. The person held has to tell you their unit. All visits run on weekdays, in one-hour slots from 8:45 AM to 3:45 PM.

Housing	Visiting days
B Pod (B-1, B-2)	Tuesday and Thursday
A Pod (A-1 to A-4)	Wednesday and Friday
Dorm	Tuesday and Thursday

The Slots

Six slots run each visiting day: 8:45, 10:00, 11:15, 12:25, 1:35 and 2:45. Each unit and cell range has its own slot, and the order flips between the two days. For example, B-1 cells 101 to 108 and 201 to 208 visit at 8:45 on Tuesday and 2:45 on Thursday. Dorm beds pair up the same way, with beds 1 and 2 at 8:45 Tuesday and 2:45 Thursday.

The full table for every cell range is on the Sheriff’s Corrections Division page.

Arrive 30 Minutes Early

Get there 30 minutes before your slot for ID and processing. Visitors are accepted until 10 minutes before the slot starts, and not after.

A missed visit cannot be saved or moved.

ID

Photo ID with your date of birth and an expiration date: a driver’s license, Sheriff ID, military ID, passport, college ID, DMV ID, Social Services benefit card or immigration card.

Children

Visitors under 18 come only with a parent or legal guardian, who may need to show proof of guardianship. Infants stay on your lap or in your arms, and children cannot sit on the counter or the floor.

Search and Lockers

Everyone passes a magnetometer, and visitors may be pat searched. Lockers in the lobby hold what cannot go in. No cameras or recording devices.

In the Room

A brief kiss and embrace at the start and end. You can hold hands over the partition, but nothing can be passed. Stay seated, and if you leave the room you cannot come back that session.

Video Visits

Video visits run through GettingOut. Schedule them at gettingout.com or call 866-516-0115.

Finding Out Their Pod

Their unit decides which weekday you visit, so write and ask which pod they’re in. Pigeonly prints that letter from your phone and posts it to County Farm Road, and you don’t need stamps.
