How to Get Unrecorded Phone Calls and Attorney Visits at LaPorte County Jail

Video visits at LaPorte County Jail are recorded and monitored by La Porte County Sheriff's Office personnel. When you participate in a visit, you're consenting to that recording - whether you're visiting from home or using the on-site equipment. Don't assume any regular video visit is private.

1. Email the jail staff and ask to be added - Request that your phone number be added to La Porte County Jail’s private caller list.
2. Include the phone number you want protected - The request is tied to a specific number, so make sure you list the exact number you want the inmate to call.
3. Wait for verification and approval - The jail verifies the number before adding it.
4. Use that number for Securus calls going forward - Once your number is verified and added, Securus phone calls placed by the inmate to that number will not be recorded.

• ✓ Save a copy/screenshot of the email you sent requesting private caller status
• ✓ Keep any reply or confirmation you receive from jail staff
• ✓ Write down the date you sent the request and the phone number you asked to have added

Attorneys follow a different process. You can register for a private account at Securus using your Bar card. Once you're set up as an Attorney visitor in the system, your visits won't be recorded.

1. Register your private Securus account with your Bar card - This is what starts the attorney-only setup.
2. Make sure you’re designated as an Attorney visitor - The unrecorded visit option depends on being set up under the correct visitor type.
3. Schedule the visit in advance - All visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead of time.
4. Schedule through the available channels - LaPorte County Jail allows scheduling through Securus or at on-site kiosks.

All visits - whether from home or at the jail - must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. You can book through Securus or use the on-site kiosks.

On-site visits come with limits: inmates get one free visit per week, lasting 20 minutes. If you have legal questions or important updates to cover, plan ahead so you're not scrambling at the end.

Practical Verification Tips

• ✓ If you requested the private caller list, confirm the exact phone number you submitted matches the number the inmate will dial through Securus
• ✓ Keep the email you sent and any response so you can reference dates and details if you need to follow up
• ✓ Before discussing anything sensitive, have the inmate place a call to the listed number only after you believe it has been verified and added
• ✓ If you’re an attorney, have your Bar card information ready for Securus registration
• ✓ Before scheduling, confirm you’re designated as an Attorney visitor so the visit is treated as unrecorded
