Harrison County Adult Detention Center

Harrison County Adult Detention Center offers video visitation and text messaging through CityTeleCoin. Register at citytelecoin.com to use these services. Video visits cost $0.25 per minute, paid through the inmate's calling card or a visitor pre-paid account. Schedule around the inmate's assigned dayroom time—that's when video visits can happen. Inmates on lockdown or under disciplinary action can't access video visits. Follow the platform rules carefully. Visitor accounts can be suspended or banned for violations, and creating duplicate accounts can trigger action that affects the inmate too. For in-person visits, check current facility rules ahead of time, bring valid photo ID, sign in, and comply with searches.

Harrison County Adult Detention Center handles video visitation and text messaging through CityTeleCoin. You'll need to register at citytelecoin.com (the facility Inmate Handbook also covers the rules). Video visits run $0.25 per minute, charged to the inmate's calling card or your pre-paid account. Video access requires kiosk/dayroom access—tablets can't be used—so plan around the inmate's dayroom schedule. Inmates on lockdown or under disciplinary action can't use video. Text messaging supports images, but HCSO staff review and approve messages before delivery. When an inmate responds to or sends a message, the charge is $0.25 per message. Break the rules and your account can be banned, including for duplicate-account attempts.

The Harrison County Adult Detention Center's inmate handbook covers rules and instructions for visitation, canteen funds, personal property, and legal services. Families should look for it as part of admission materials—many facilities provide a handbook during intake or orientation. Harrison County also offers an Expungement Handbook. It's informational only (not legal advice) and explains how expunging records may affect employment and housing opportunities. About 80% of the detention center's population are pre-trial detainees, which explains why so many policies focus on intake and pre-trial procedures. Before visiting, check the handbook's visitation rules. Never bring contraband—doing so can mean lost privileges or criminal charges.
