How to Set Up Your First Video Visit at Curry County Detention Center

Curry County Detention Center handles all personal visits by video through gettingout.com. There's no in-person family visitation for regular visits - you'll connect with your loved one through the GettingOut video system.

GettingOut handles more than just visits at this facility. Need to add money to an inmate tablet? You can do that through gettingout.com as well.

Before You Start

• ✓ A GettingOut account (you’ll need to create one on gettingout.com before you can visit)
• ✓ Your loved one’s name and any identifying details you’ll be asked for when you link to them in the system
• ✓ A device you can use for a video call (phone, tablet, or computer) and a steady internet connection
• ✓ A quiet, private place for the call (background noise and distractions can derail a visit fast)
• ✓ Clothing that would be considered appropriate on camera (the facility requires appropriate clothing during visits)

Start by creating an account on gettingout.com. Once you're set up, follow the prompts to find and link to the person you want to visit at Curry County Detention Center. This connection to the right inmate profile is what lets you request and join visits.

Regular visits for all male and female housing units run Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. For your first visit, I'd recommend picking a time earlier in the window - you'll avoid the last-minute rush.

Special Management Unit (SMU) visits work differently. SMU visitation runs Monday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., but it's in-facility and by appointment only. If your loved one is housed in SMU, you'll need to coordinate around that appointment system.

Visit Rules and Risks

• ✓ Don’t take screenshots, record the screen, or take photos of the video visit session - this is strictly prohibited
• ✓ Don’t argue with staff instructions or push boundaries during the session; misconduct or not following the visitation rules can end the visit
• ✓ Don’t treat a termination like a “one-time thing” - misconduct can also lead to restrictions on future visits (and may affect the inmate’s visitation privileges, too)

Dress matters even though you're not walking into the building. Curry County Detention Center requires appropriate clothing for video visits, and staff can end a visit if they decide the rules aren't being followed. When in doubt, keep it simple and conservative.

Before your first visit, do a quick tech check: charge your device, use a stable internet connection, and test your camera and microphone. Join a few minutes early so you're not troubleshooting when the session starts. If you can't connect, reach out to GettingOut support through the platform for the fastest help.
