Visiting an Inmate at Rock Island County Jail
Upon arrival at the Rock Island County Jail, every inmate receives a Visitor Registration Form. Inmates are permitted to maintain a visitor list of up to five individuals, excluding minors (those under 18 years of age). Inmates can modify their visitor list on the first day of each month. To change visitors, an inmate must remove a currently listed visitor before adding a new one. This can be done by noting the names of visitors to be removed on the back of the new Visitor Registration Form.
All visitors aged 18 and older must present a valid photo ID to be allowed entry for visitation. Visitors without valid photo identification will be denied visitation. Minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during visits. Unsupervised children are not permitted in the lobby or annex while adults are visiting.
A maximum of four visitors are allowed per inmate in the visitation area at any given time, including minors. Visitation sessions are strictly thirty minutes long, with no exceptions to this time limit. For detailed visitation hours, please refer to the Inmate Visitation Hours Schedule (PDF).
Disruptive behavior or excessive noise from visitors will result in immediate removal from the facility and potential banning from future visits. The Rock Island County Jail maintains the right to restrict visitation privileges for both inmates and visitors to ensure the safety and order of the facility.
To confirm visitation dates and times for a specific inmate’s cell block, or to inquire about commissary availability, please call 309-558-3455. Inmates may be moved between cell blocks, so verifying this information is recommended before planning a visit.
