Understanding Placerville Jail's Visit Limits: How Many Times Can You Visit?

Visit limits at Placerville Jail apply to both sides. Each visitor can schedule up to three 30-minute visits per week. Each inmate is also capped at three 30-minute visits per week. So even if several people want to see the same person, that inmate's weekly total still maxes out at three visits - and you have your own separate three-visit limit.

Visits are built around 30-minute sessions. For video visitation, each visit is scheduled for a maximum of 30 minutes, so plan your conversation around that window.

Here's something to keep in mind: partial time counts as a full visit. If you use any portion of your scheduled time, it still counts as the entire 30-minute session. Make sure your setup is working before the visit starts, and be ready to go right at your scheduled time. Once a visit begins, it counts against your limit - even if you only connect for a few minutes.

Video visits at Placerville Jail are available seven days a week, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. That wide window makes it easier to work around jobs, school schedules, or childcare.

Even with those extended hours, inmates are limited to one video visit per day. Each session maxes out at 30 minutes. If you want to stay in regular contact throughout the week, shorter and more consistent check-ins work better than trying to squeeze multiple sessions into one day.

NCIC provides one free video visit per week to each inmate at Placerville Jail. Additional video visits cost $0.20 per minute - so a full 30-minute session runs $6.

Need more than one visit in a single day? You'll have to get pre-approval from jail administration. This isn't automatic, so treat it as an exception request and follow whatever instructions they give you.
