How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Planning a visit to Joseph V. Conte Facility? First, decide whether an in-person visit makes sense or if a remote video visit works better. Many families use Securus Video Connect, a web-based system for scheduling video sessions with incarcerated people. One testimonial on the Securus site compares typical travel expenses (gas and parking) with a lower fee for a short remote visit—video can be an economical option for some. Before any visit, follow the facility's enrollment steps: ask the inmate to add you to their approved visitor list, complete any required visitor application forms, submit them as instructed, and wait for official approval. Don't travel until you're notified you're approved. Always check the facility's posted rules and schedule since procedures and fees vary.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.

Securus Messaging lets you stay connected with more than just text. Depending on what's supported, you might send everyday messages, share photos, pick out an eCard for a birthday or holiday, or send short video clips.

Conte Facility actually accepts.
