How to Visit Deschutes County Jail, OR (OR)

Planning a visit, sending mail, or setting up phone contact? The official pages you'd normally check aren't working properly. The jail's "Visits," "Inmate Mail," and "Phone" pages each display the same short message: "This will only take a few seconds...". No hours, no requirements, no instructions. Call the jail directly to confirm the current process before you travel or send anything.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Check the Deschutes County Jail “Visits” webpage and see whether it shows only the message “This will only take a few seconds...”.
• ✓ Check the “Inmate Mail” webpage and see whether it also shows only “This will only take a few seconds...”.
• ✓ Check the “Phone” webpage and see whether it also shows only “This will only take a few seconds...”.
• ✓ If those pages still do not show the actual policies, verify the current rules with the jail before you go in person, mail anything, or add money to a phone account.

The Visits, Inmate Mail, and Phone pages only show "This will only take a few seconds..." with no actual information. Get the specifics directly from the jail before making plans. For visits, ask about current hours and whether you need to schedule in advance. Find out what ID you'll need, and whether someone's booking status could block a visit. For mail, verify the exact addressing format, what's allowed inside letters, and what gets rejected. For phone contact, ask which provider the jail uses, how to set up an account, and what fees or limits apply. Also check on any health or safety restrictions that might affect visiting procedures.
