The White County Jail is used to house state prisoners, both male and female. A large majority of them are classified as “pre-trial detainees”. It is hereby acknowledged that pre-trial detainees retain most of their individual rights afforded to them by the constitution. Punishment of pre-trial detainees is out of harmony with the 14th amendment to the constitution, which forbids the deprivation of liberty without due process of law. The physical facility of the White County Jail may somewhat limit the rights of inmates, but whenever possible the fullest rights will be afforded to each inmate.

Inmates have strict mail guidelines. Please review them.

Visitation - White County Jail does NOT allow contact visitation. Children are only allowed to visit on the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month. Inmates shall be allowed one 20-minute visit with up to 3 Adult (persons 18 years of age and older) visitors. On weekends when child visit, there may be up to 2 adults and 3 children during the visit. Visitor list may include up to 6 adults (persons 18 years of age and older). Persons wishing to visit with an inmate must be listed on that inmate’s visitors list. Any changes to the visitor’s list will be made on the first of each month.
