The Landing Lane jail holds visits on Saturdays only. Each person gets one 30-minute visit a week. Sign-in times depend on housing: general population 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., the female unit 6:30 to 7 p.m., and other units at set times in between. People in quarantine or medical isolation get no visits. To visit, you must be on the person's list, and only the person held can start the visitor form; family cannot pick one up at the jail. You may be turned down if you were held there in the last 12 months, have an open warrant, or have a protective or no-contact order with the person. Only one adult sits at a time, and no more than two adults may share the half hour. Children need a parent or guardian and proof such as a birth certificate. Questions: 410-996-5800.
