How to Visit Columbia County Jail, OH (OH)

As of August 28, 2022, Columbiana County Jail moved all visitation to video. So plan on a video visit rather than a traditional in-person, contact-style meeting.

That said, the jail also references an onsite option where you'd come to the jail lobby for a scheduled visit at no charge. This doesn't line up cleanly with the "all visitation via video" policy, so treat the free onsite lobby option as something you need to confirm before making plans.

1. Create your Securus account - Use the Securus website or the mobile app on a smartphone or tablet.
2. Request visitation access in Securus - Submit a photo of yourself and a photo of a government-issued ID through your account so you can be approved to visit.

1. Request your visit at least 12 hours ahead - After your access is granted, the outside visitor has to place the visit request at least 12 hours in advance.

What to Verify

• ✓ Confirm whether visits are video-only, or if an onsite lobby video option is still offered.
• ✓ If an onsite lobby option exists, confirm whether it is free of charge and what “onsite” means for check-in and scheduling.

• ✓ Confirm you are setting up visitation through Securus (website or mobile app).
• ✓ Confirm you still need to upload a photo of yourself and a photo of a government-issued ID to request access.
• ✓ Confirm the lead time requirement to request a visit (at least 12 hours in advance).

• ✓ Confirm current pricing for remote video visits, including the 20-minute and 40-minute session options.
• ✓ Confirm whether fees apply to all remote visits or only certain visit types.

Before you schedule, check the jail's official visitation information and follow the prompts inside Securus for current requirements. Policies and availability can shift, especially when the facility's own page mixes "video-only" guidance with an onsite lobby option.
