Visitation at Mahoning County Jail

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Mahoning County Jail offers video visitation only, and every visit needs approval at least 24 hours in advance. You'll need to register through the facility's listed vendor sites before scheduling. The limit is two 20-minute video visits per day. The jail treats video visitation as a privilege, so they can deny, cancel, suspend, or end visits at any time. Don't schedule during a housing unit's recreation time: those appointments get cancelled without notice or refund. All video visits may be monitored and recorded. Only registered, logged visitors for that specific session can appear on camera, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Stay seated throughout the visit, avoid using other electronic devices, and keep your clothing in place. Nudity, partial exposure, or disruptive behavior can result in sanctions.
