Visiting Inmates

All visitors must register and schedule visits in the Visitation Program. https://leecountyfl.gtlvisitme.com/app

On visitation day, visitors will be required to check in at the kiosk and confirm their identification at the visitation desk, 15 minutes prior to their scheduled visitation time. Each inmate will be allowed up to two visitors per visitation session. Names will be checked against the inmate’s visitation list. A valid photo identification that displays the date of birth, is required to be presented to the Clerk. If no identification is displayed, the visitor will not be permitted to visit. Juveniles must be accompanied by an adult at all times during the visit.
Remote visitations can still be conducted via www.gtlvisitme.com

Inmate Visitation

All visitations for the Jail, Core and Community Program Units (CPU’s) are conducted through a video monitor. Each inmate will be allowed two (2) visitations per week for one (1) hour each. Up to two (2) visitors from the Inmate’s Authorized Visitation List will be allowed to visit with the inmate; children under one year of age will not be included in the count.

Where Do You Go to Visit an Inmate?

All visits for inmates at the Lee County Corrections facilities (Main Jail, Core and CPU’s) are conducted at the Visitation facility located on the Ortiz site:

You Must Be an Approved Visitor

All inmates are given a packet that contains an INMATE VISITATION LIST. The inmate can then place up to five (5) names of family members/friends that they want to visit with. Children under the age of one year DO NOT need to be placed on this list. They also do not count as one of the visitors. The inmate can only update their visitation list every four (4) months from the day they sign up. Any add-ons or removals constitutes as an update. Visitors on the list will be the only persons allowed to visit the inmate with the exception of Clergy, Attorney, and infants under the age of one year.

Our hours of operations are open Monday-Sunday 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
