How to Visit Mahoning County Jail (OH)
Video visits are straightforward once you know the rules. Here's how to register, schedule, and avoid common reasons visits get canceled.
Video visitation at Mahoning County Justice Center is a privilege, not a right. The facility can deny, cancel, suspend, or end your visit at any time, even after the session has started. Using the video visitation system means you consent to monitoring and recording, so keep that in mind when planning your conversation.
Last-minute video visits aren't an option here. All video visitation must be approved at least 24 hours in advance, so plan ahead. Once approved, you can schedule up to two 20-minute video visits per day.
Stay seated for the entire visit. All other electronic devices (cellphones, tablets, cameras, recording devices) must be turned off and cannot be used during the session. Keep your clothing in place throughout. Partial exposure or nudity is prohibited.
One scheduling detail can cost you the visit: video visits cannot be scheduled during the housing unit's recreation time. If you accidentally book during rec time, the visit will be canceled without notice and you won't get a refund.
You'll need to register through the vendor system before scheduling a video visit. Create an account at securustech.net or videovisitanywhere.com.
- Register with the video visitation vendor: Create your account using securustech.net or videovisitanywhere.com.
- Request approval at least 24 hours ahead: Make sure the visit is approved a minimum of 24 hours before the time you want to connect.

Note: Video visitation is a privilege and the facility can deny, cancel, suspend, or terminate a visit at any time. Using the system also means you consent to monitoring and recording.
Before locking in travel plans or taking time off work, confirm the approval timing and the facility's cancellation policy. The published rule requires video visits to be approved at least 24 hours in advance, and the facility can cancel or terminate visits at their discretion.
Check which vendor site you should use and whether your situation requires any extra steps after creating an account. The registration sites are securustech.net and videovisitanywhere.com. Contact vendor support if you run into sign-up issues.
