Review of Nassau County Jail

Not sure how you are suppose to rate a jail. However I'm assuming most reading this are looking to visit someone in the jail. If so here is what you need to know:
Visits are limited to 1 hour, M-W between 8-11am and 12-4pm and TH-F between 12-3p and 4-8p (except federal holidays).

Each inmate is allowed 2 visits a week (3 visits a week if they are in a workers dorm). Attorney and professional visits don't count towards the limit.

DO NOT wear any green or orange clothes. It is the same color as the inmate scrubs and they will make you remove it before you can go on a visit.

You can leave money for an inmates commissary, however if it is a large amount of cash they will not accept it unless you can verify its source. Checks and credit work best. Keep in mind the limit an inmate can spend on commissary is $60 a week.

You will have to remove all electronic devices and anything made of metal before going on a visit. That includes your bra if it has a metal wire for reinforcement. They provide personal lockers with a key to store items while on a visit.

You have to provide some form of government identification before visiting also.

I believe up to 3 people can visit one inmate at a time. Best time to visit is early in the morning M-W. They are the busiest with visits during the afternoon on THUR and FRI. Morning visits usually require less waiting on your part and their are less inmates in the visiting room so you have more privacy.
