Video visitation is a great way to connect with your loved one over the internet without having to worry about unpredictable crowds and overly busy visitation hours. Incarcerated individuals and visitors using video visitation shall be subject to the same rules and procedures as regular visitation as outlined in the visitation policy and administrative procedure, except for certain dress standards that are only necessary for in-person visitation. The following dress standards apply to video visits:
- All visitors must wear a shirt/blouse
- All visitors must wear pants, shorts, or a dress
- All visitors must wear appropriate undergarments
- Hats or other head coverings are not permitted, except as required by religious beliefs
- Clothing shall not be worn out, torn (holes), transparent, or frayed to the extent that undergarments are visible
For more detailed information read Section XVI of policy 02-01-102 Offender Visitation on our policy page. Visits can be scheduled and paid for in advance, allowing you to visit with your loved ones at times that are convenient for you.
