REGULAR VISITATION

 

Family and friends may schedule a visit to the jail online  with the Renovo-Web Scheduler. All visits are Monday through Friday only.

 

All visitors must be signed up to visit 15 minutes before the visitation begins.

 

Video visitation is scheduled by the visitor via the Internet. Visitors may go to the Renovo-Web Scheduler to schedule their visit. Visits are conducted utilizing state of the art video teleconference equipment.

 

Visitors may schedule a visit online from 24 - 72 hours in advance. Inmates will receive one, 45 minute visit each week.  It is the responsibility of the visitor to schedule their visit online.

 

Inmates are not eligible for visitation during the first 72 hours of incarceration to allow for classification and placement into specified housing. This process sometimes takes longer than 72 hours. You will receive an error message until you are able to schedule the visit.

 

CANCELLATIONS

Check your email often prior to your scheduled visit for unexpected changes, no matter how far in advance or beyond the court date. 

 

Cancellations may also occur due to disciplinary reasons. You will not be able to visit until the inmate has served his/her disciplinary time and returns to population. Check email often for cancellations. The visit can not be granted if you show up for the scheduled visitation.


If the person you are visiting has a scheduled court date on the date of your scheduled visit, the Renovo Scheduler will automatically cancel the visit. Once the inmate has returned to his/her housing area, you must reschedule the visit.
