How to check if you are on a visitation list

At Lew Sterrett Justice Center, you cannot assume you are automatically on your boyfriend’s visitation list, especially since he was just booked in.

This facility is a large complex with multiple units, including the North Tower, West Tower, and Suzanne Lee Kays Tower. Each area follows the same general process, but your boyfriend must first add you to his approved visitor list.

Here is how it typically works:

• After booking, inmates are given the chance to submit or update their visitor list
• You must be listed and approved before you can visit
• Some facilities also require you to complete a visitor application

Since he was just booked yesterday, his list may not be set up yet or fully processed.

To find out your status:

• Call the jail and ask about visitation requirements
• Confirm which tower he is housed in
• Ask if you need to complete an application or wait for approval

Until you are officially approved, you will not be allowed to visit. The best step is to have him add you as soon as possible and then verify with the facility before making the trip.
