INMATE VISITATION

Upon entry into the Rock Island County Jail each inmate will receive a Visitor Registration Form. Each Inmate is allowed to have five (5) visitors on his or her list, not including minors (minors are any persons under the age of 18). Inmates will be allowed to change their visitor registration on the first day of each month. If an inmate has five (5) visitors listed and wishes to change his or her visitors he or she must remove a previously listed visitor before the new visitor can be added to their list. This should be done by writing the name(s) of the visitor(s) to be removed from the Visitors List on the back of the new Visitor Registration Form.

All visitors must present a valid picture I.D. before they will be allowed to visit. Any person under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
