Jail Visitation Hours, Rules, and Dress Code

The safety and well-being of our residents and visitors is a top priority for the Levy County Sheriff’s Office. The LCSO and the Florida Sheriff’s Association is working to ensure that the most up-to-date Center for Disease Control guidance is quickly and accurately disseminated to all of our members and citizens. To stay current with the most relevant information we encourage all citizens to utilize the CDC guidelines.

You must arrive ten (10) minutes before your visit. If you are late for your visit, the visit will be denied.

Schedule for Visitation:

• Friends and family may schedule visits seven days a week that they are available during the hours of 8am-11am. (No times are allowed during the times from 11:30 am to 12pm due to the Lunch meal being served.)
• 12pm-5pm (5pm-630pm No times are allowed due to the evening meal and facility count being conducted.)

  • Remote visits are the only visits that are allowed at this time and for the foreseeable future this will remain in effect. The remote visits are .25 cents per minute and can be scheduled by visiting www.smartjailmail.com Where you will create an account and schedule visits. Any device that has internet access can be used for a visit.
• Visits can be scheduled for 15 or 30 minute times. In order to be approved to visit you will need to provide a self portrait along with a photo of a valid photo ID that includes the same address as the address you list on your profile. All visits are recorded and monitored for security purposes. At any time during the course of a visit that any violation of institutional rules or regulations is discovered it could result in the visit being terminated without refund and could further result in loss of visitation privilege’s
