How Video Visits Work at Macomb County Jail (register, limits, and what to expect)
Macomb County Jail uses video visitation for all friends and family visits. Once you understand the registration process and weekly limits, scheduling becomes straightforward.
All friends and family visits at Macomb County Jail happen through video - there are no in-person contact visits for regular social visiting. The jail uses ICSolutions to handle scheduling and setup.
Registration Timing Limits
- ✓ Register for your video visit at least 24 hours before the scheduled visit.
- ✓ Don’t register more than two weeks in advance.
Weekly visit limits depend on the inmate's status. Most inmates can receive two visits per week. Certain trusties get three visits instead, so check if your loved one qualifies for that extra slot.
Visits last about 30 minutes, and up to three visitors can join the same call. That means a small group can visit together - just stay within the three-person limit.
Need to stay in touch with more than one person in custody? Macomb County Jail lets visitors connect with up to five different inmates. The catch: visits must be one inmate at a time, so you'll schedule separately for each person.
Friends and family visits are non-contact and recorded. Expect the call to be monitored like any other jail communication, and keep your conversation appropriate.
Behavior warning: Disruptive behavior by either the inmate or the visitor can lead to visiting privileges being suspended or terminated.
Dress code: Proper attire is required - clothing must cover all private or sensitive body areas.
If your loved one is being held at a hospital, the process works differently. You'll need to get a visiting pass from the Prisoner Information Office and show it to the deputy at the hospital.
Hospital visits have tighter restrictions. Only two visitors are allowed at a time, and visits are limited to twice a week. If the inmate is in critical condition or intensive care, two visitors can still come at once, but visits may only be allowed once a day - or less, depending on the hospital's own policies.
Quick Checklist
- ✓ Use ICSolutions to set up your video visitation details.

Weekly limit reminder: Most inmates get two visits per week; certain trusties may get three. Plan your scheduling around those limits so a visit doesn’t get denied.
