Kay County Detention Center, OK

Kay County Detention Center posts its visitation rules and hours where detainees can see them, and the schedule is also available to the public by phone. Visits must be at least 30 minutes under normal conditions. Legal visitation is permitted seven days a week, with minimum hours of eight hours on business days and four hours on weekends and holidays. Plan for ID checks at the door: all adult visitors must present government-issued photo identification. No adult will be admitted without positive identification. If you're an attorney or legal representative, your visits are confidential and cannot be monitored. Private consultation rooms must be available, and legal documents can be inspected but not read.

Detainees at Kay County Detention Center cannot receive incoming telephone calls. If you need to leave an urgent message, call the facility with the detainee's full name, A-number, and your contact information. The facility is required to provide at least one operable telephone for every 25 detainees (PBNDS 2011 lists an optimal level of one phone per ten detainees). Privileged calls to courts, attorneys, the DHS Office of Inspector General, or calls made to obtain legal representation cannot be electronically monitored without a court order. Facilities must also permit direct or free calls to specified entities, and requests must be granted within 24 hours and ordinarily within eight facility-established waking hours. Phone, video, and electronic messaging options vary by vendor and typically require an account, phone-number registration, and vendor scheduling and payment steps.

Kay County Detention Center must maintain written procedures for incoming property and money, and it must allow visitors to leave money for deposit into a detainee's account. You should receive a receipt for any money or property you leave. Check the facility's written procedures before you try to add funds or bring money on visit day. Many jails offer several deposit methods: online payment portals, lobby kiosks, vendor websites, or mailed money orders. Options vary by facility. Money on an account is commonly used for commissary, phone or video calls, and certain fees. Any remaining balance at release is typically returned to the inmate, subject to the facility's refund procedures.
