How to Schedule Your First Video Visit at Al Cannon Detention Center

Al Cannon Detention Center uses Securus Video Connect for video visitation - a web-based system where you can schedule and join video sessions with someone who's incarcerated. First step: create your visitation account at SECURUSTech.net.

Before booking, check when your loved one was booked in. At Al Cannon Detention Center, they must be incarcerated for at least 72 hours before they can receive visits.

Age matters too. You must be at least 17 years old to schedule visits online. Visitors under 17 need a parent or guardian to handle scheduling.

  • Go to the Securus website (SECURUSTech.net)
  • Create your account/login so you can schedule video visits through Securus Video Connect
  • Complete any on-screen account setup steps required by Securus before you try to book a time

Once your Securus account is set up, you can book through the facility's online system. Al Cannon offers daily visitation blocks Sunday through Saturday: 8:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.–9:30 p.m. One limit to keep in mind: personal online visits are capped at three 30-minute sessions per seven calendar days. Hit that limit? You'll need to wait until your next seven-day window opens up.
