Visitation

Visiting someone at Deschutes County Jail takes a little setup, especially the first time. You'll need to be screened and placed on the approved visitor list before scheduling a visit. Submitting an application doesn't guarantee approval, and the person you want to see can also decline visits. Your visit options (onsite in-person, a lobby tablet, or video service) depend on the housing unit and facility resources. All visits are monitored, and you'll go through security screening when you arrive. Visits can be canceled, interrupted, or denied for safety, security, or staffing reasons. Special-housing and disciplinary visits often follow separate rules, including no-contact procedures like visiting behind glass.
