Before Your First On‑Site Video Visit: What to Leave in Your Car
On-site video visits run smoothly when you walk in with only what's allowed. Here, that means one thing: your government-issued ID.
How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Brevard County Jail handles visitation through Smart Communications kiosks—traditional face-to-face visits are only available for professional or specially approved situations. Before your on-site kiosk visit, lock all personal property in your vehicle and bring only your valid ID. Cell phones and other items aren't allowed in the visitation area. Keep things respectful: no profanity, lewd conduct, smoking, or eating in visitation areas. Anyone under the influence will be denied entry or removed. Visits may be recorded, and unauthorized photographing or recording can end your visit and trigger at least a 30-day suspension. Make sure you're on the inmate's approved visitor list before making the trip.
