The Real Cost of Staying Connected at La Porte County Jail: Your One Free Weekly Visit and Phone Privacy
Staying in touch matters—but it helps to know what's free, what's recorded, and what you can do when you need privacy. Here's how the weekly on-site visit works at La Porte County Jail, what "recorded" actually means, and how to request unrecorded calls through the private caller list.
At La Porte County Jail, inmates receive one free on-site visit per week. That free session is 20 minutes long, so it’s worth planning ahead so you’re ready to talk when the clock starts.
Schedule visits - both on-site and at-home - through Securus Technologies, or use one of the eight kiosks at the La Porte County Sheriff's Office. If you want the free on-site visit, make sure you select the on-site option when booking.
All visits at La Porte County Jail are recorded and monitored by Sheriff's Office personnel. By participating, you're consenting to that recording - so treat every visit like it could be reviewed later.
Note: Don't expect privacy during video visits. If you need to discuss something sensitive, skip the monitored visit and use appropriate legal channels instead.
- Choose the phone number you want protected - decide which number you want the inmate to call through the Securus phone system.
- Email jail staff to request the private caller list - ask that your number be added to the La Porte County Jail private caller list.
- Complete verification if staff requests it - the jail verifies the request before adding a number.
- Confirm the number is added before relying on it - once your number is verified and added, Securus phone calls from the inmate to that number will not be recorded.
- ✓ Your full name
- ✓ Your relationship to the inmate
- ✓ The phone number you want added to the private caller list
- ✓ Any identifying details jail staff asks for during verification
Attorney visits work differently. Attorneys can register for a private Securus account using their Bar card. Once set up as an Attorney visitor, they can schedule visits that won't be recorded. This is separate from the "private caller list" process for phone numbers.
- Write down the exact phone number you want protected - use the number the inmate will actually be calling through Securus.
- Get the correct jail staff email contact - use the facility’s official channels to confirm where private caller list requests should be sent.
- Send your private caller list request and respond to verification - once verified and added, calls to that number through the Securus phone system won’t be recorded.
- Schedule visits the approved way - set up on-site or at-home visits through Securus Technologies, or schedule on-site using one of the eight on-site kiosks at the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office.
Note: Don't assume your number is private until you've confirmed it was verified and added. For scheduling, use Securus Technologies or the on-site kiosks at the Sheriff's Office - that way you're using the system the jail requires.
