Visitation and inmate services

The Corrections Bureau manages the jail system, inmate movement, visitation, and related services. The bureau also states that food service, medical, mental, and dental care are provided, and that education and ministry services are available to inmates.

For visits, adults 18 and older must show a current valid state-issued ID. Visitors should arrive 15 minutes early, and only ID and keys are allowed inside. Standard visits last 20 minutes, with no more than two visits per week and one per day.

Video visitation is available through in-facility kiosks or by smartphone or tablet, and the county says there is an added cost for that service. Attorneys and clergy may visit at any time, and attorneys must present a bar card for entry.

Dress rules apply. The jail may refuse visitation for inappropriate clothing, including sleeveless tops, see-through material, uncovered undergarments, short shorts or skirts, or clothing that shows gang affiliation or obscenities.

Mail and money rules

Regular inmate mail is handled through NCIC-Inmate Communications. Since August 1, 2022, regular postcards, letters, and greeting cards are sent to a mailing address in Longview and scanned for inmate viewing through kiosks.

Legal mail, court documents, books, and publications still go directly to the jail by mail. Books and reading material must come from retailers, hard covers are not allowed, and packages with prohibited material may be placed into inmate property.

The jail does not accept currency, money orders, payroll checks, personal checks, blank checks, commissary-type items, personal hygiene items, or food in inmate mail. To add money, the county lists online payment, phone deposits, a lobby kiosk, and mail by money order or cashier’s check. The Corrections Bureau also provides more detail on these services on its Corrections Bureau page.
