Visiting Wayne County Jail

Walk In, Nine Seats

The Sheriff is plain about it: all visits are walk-in only, and visits are no longer scheduled. Each session has nine spots, first come, first served, at the jail, 7368 Route 31, Lyons.

You Must Be on the Visitor Log

Every visitor has to be on the person’s visitor log before they can visit. Ask them to add you first.

Tuesday and Saturday

Session	Who
8:00 to 9:00 AM	Women
9:15 to 10:15 AM	Men
10:30 to 11:30 AM	Men
12:30 to 1:30 PM	Men
1:45 to 2:45 PM	Men

Women held at the jail have one session each visiting day. Men have four.

How Many, and How Often

• Two adults, or one adult and up to two children aged 12 and under.
• One hour of visiting, twice a week.
• Everyone 13 or older needs valid photo ID.

How Early to Arrive

The Sheriff’s two pages give different times. The visitation page says 30 minutes before the session. The jail FAQ says 15 minutes, and that anyone not there 10 minutes before is sent back for a later session. With nine seats, aim for 30 minutes.

The First 24 Hours

Everyone is entitled to one 15-minute noncontact visit within the first 24 hours of being jailed.

What Not to Wear

No see-through, low-cut or altered clothing, hooded sweatshirts, short shorts, halter tops, crop tops, half shirts, or anything that shows the midriff.

Pass Nothing

Trying to pass anything to someone during a visit is grounds for arrest and a permanent ban.
