What Miami County Jail can see and record during your video visit
Planning a video visit with someone at Miami County Jail? Assume it's not private. Here's what the jail records and monitors—and what can get your visit cut short or your privileges revoked.
Miami County Jail records all video visitations. Staff can also watch in real time - not just review recordings later. If they think a rule has been broken, jail administration can end the visit immediately, deny future visits, or suspend your visitation privileges entirely.
Reminder: Your Miami County Jail video visit is recorded and can be monitored, so treat it like a conversation staff may be watching or reviewing.
The jail records your video visit, but you're not allowed to. Miami County Jail prohibits visitors from using cameras, phones, or any recording device to capture the call - whether you're visiting on-site or remotely. This applies before, during, and after the visit.
Rule: Don’t try to screenshot, screen-record, or otherwise capture the call. Recording or duplicating a video visit is prohibited.
Since staff may be watching, how you act during the call matters. Show up sober. If staff believe you're under the influence - or if you drink or use drugs during the visit - they'll end the call. Nudity or sexual conduct will get your visitation privileges suspended. Disruptive behavior can cut a visit short too. Loud talking, excessive emotionalism, or anything else staff consider disruptive is grounds for early termination. Beyond these specific rules, jail administration can terminate, suspend, or deny any video visit whenever they believe a violation has occurred.
- ✓ Appearing to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- ✓ Consuming alcohol or drugs during the visit
- ✓ Any nudity or sexual conduct during the video visit
- ✓ Loud talking, excessive emotionalism, or other disruptive behavior
Keep in mind: Miami County Jail can terminate, suspend, or deny a video visit - or your visitation privileges - if they believe rules have been violated.
- Do not record or duplicate the visit - Don’t use extra cameras, screen-recording, or any recording device on-site or off-site.
- Stay sober for the entire call - If staff believe you’re under the influence, or if you consume during the visit, the visit may not be allowed to continue.
- Dress conservatively - Staff can deny a video visit if your apparel is deemed inappropriate.
- Avoid nudity or sexual conduct - This is prohibited and can lead to loss or suspension of visitation privileges.
- Keep your volume and emotions under control - Loud talking, excessive emotionalism, or disruptive behavior can get the visit ended early.
- Follow directions immediately - The jail administration can terminate, suspend, or deny visits or visitation privileges when they believe rule violations have occurred.
Dress code tip: Miami County Jail lists examples of clothing that can get a visit denied, including see-through clothing, low-cut tops that expose the chest, and clothing that exposes undergarments.
