Salt Lake County Jail Visitation Schedule.

The SL County jail - located at 3415 South 900 West in Salt Lake City, Utah - has various visitation schedules depending upon where your loved one is currently housed.  There are a number of different rules that you must adhere to when attempting to schedule a visit as well as when you arrive for your visit. The following list of nine items constitute the bulk of the visitation rules:
