Sutter County Jail has established an Incarcerated Person Visiting plan and policy which is reasonable and necessary to protect facility security and incarcerated person welfare while allowing incarcerated persons opportunities to maintain social relationships with family and friends. This provides for as many visits and visitors as the facility schedules, considering space and number of personnel. Each incarcerated person is allowed no fewer than two visits totaling at least one hour per incarcerated person, per week. This plan is in accordance with required standards.

Visiting Rules

• Visitors will be limited to one 30-minute visit per incarcerated person per day (except minimum)
• A maximum of one person will be allowed to visit an incarcerated person at one time, excluding children
• No contact visits will be allowed
• Incarcerated Persons shall not be allowed to receive items from visitors or to send items out to visitors
• Property releases by incarcerated persons may be accomplished during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.), Monday through Sunday, excluding holidays)
• No gang affiliated insignias
  No revealing clothes, swimming suits, daisy dukes (extremely short or form-fitting shorts) or
• apparel deemed inappropriate by jail staff will be allowed

Appointments are not allowed. Visitors must come to the jail prior to the visiting hours and sign up to visit an incarcerated person. Persons who are late will lose their visiting time. A visitor wishing to visit more than one incarcerated person must complete one visit before signing up for a second or subsequent visit.

Professional Visits

Attorneys, probation officers, clergy and members of law enforcement agencies are allowed to visit with incarcerated persons 24 hours per day on official business by providing their appropriate credentials. They may be allowed contact visits when staffing and security considerations allow.
