FROM HOME Visits

If you want to use the FROM HOME option, visits can be scheduled any time an inmate is on out time.

You can check an inmate’s out time schedule by cell assignment here.

FROM HOME visits can be scheduled 7 days a week 9am-9pm

We encourage you to schedule the beginning of you visit at least 10 minute after an out time begins and the end at least 10 minutes before a visit ends. This prevents issues resulting from out times being slightly off due to operational issues.

Any visit scheduled to begin or end outside of the regular out time will be cancelled.

Visitation INITIATED AT THE JAIL (ON-SITE) is limited to one 20 minute visit per inmate per day and only two visits each week.

Example 1: Inmate Smith has one visit that lasts 20 minutes. Inmate Smith cannot visit anyone again until the following day.

Example 2: Inmate Smith has two people show up to the jail for visitation. The two people showed up and visited 15 minutes. A third visitor shows up later and is turned away because inmate Smith only gets one visit per day.
