How to Schedule Your First Video Visit at La Porte County Jail (24-hour rule)
Scheduling your first video visit at La Porte County Jail comes down to one key rule: book at least 24 hours ahead.
The rule at La Porte County Jail is straightforward: all visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Try to book something same-day or with less than 24 hours notice, and it won't go through.
True emergencies are the only exception. Special visits may be approved for situations like an imminent threat or a death in the family. If a direct family member has died or is dying, the jail may also require a county crisis responder to be available before moving forward.

Prefer to handle things in person? Eight kiosks at the La Porte County Sheriff's Office let you schedule visits on-site.
Inmates get one free on-site video visit per week. Each session lasts 20 minutes, so come prepared to make the most of your time.
Note: Visitation is a privilege. The jail can cancel a visit mid-session or restrict future visits if there's misconduct. All visits are recorded and monitored - participating means you consent to that.
Can't meet the 24-hour window because of an emergency? You can request a special visit, but approvals are rare. Jail administration or the shift OIC will only approve requests for situations like an imminent threat or a death in the family.
When a direct family member has died or is dying, the jail may require the family to wait for a county crisis responder before the notification process can begin. This extra step can delay a special visit, even in urgent circumstances.
