Halifax County Adult Detention Center Visitation Rules and Guidelines

The Halifax County Adult Detention Center (HCADC), operating under the Blue Ridge Regional Jail Authority (BRRJA), enforces strict visitation protocols to maintain security and order. All visitors are subject to search, and failure to adhere to established guidelines may result in denial of visitation privileges. Visitation schedules may be modified or canceled without notice due to operational requirements.

Visitors must be listed on the inmate’s approved visitation list to be eligible for entry. Individuals under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian or provide a notarized Juvenile Visitation Form, which can be obtained from the officer on duty. Only non-incarcerated parents or legal guardians may authorize juvenile visits. All visitors must present a valid, undamaged photo ID, and the name on the ID must match the name on the approved visitation list. Each inmate is allowed one visit per week, and former inmates must wait six months after release before visiting any BRRJA facility. A maximum of three adult visitors is permitted per visit.

Cell phones, recording devices, and electronic equipment are strictly prohibited inside the visitation area unless explicitly authorized by the Site Administrator. Visitors should leave all personal belongings in their vehicles.

• No see-through clothing
• No tank tops, halter tops, tube tops, sleeveless tops, or sleeveless dresses
• No bathing suits or mini skirts
