Before Your First Video Visit at Mobile Metro Jail: 5 Rules You Need to Know
Your first video visit goes much smoother when you know Mobile Metro Jail's timing and visitor rules upfront. Here are five rules that will help you avoid surprises and keep your visit on track.
Mobile Metro Jail doesn't allow last-minute scheduling. You need to book at least 1 day in advance, but no more than 7 days out. Think of it as a 1 to 7 day booking window. Pick your time within that range and lock it in early.
Sign in early. Mobile Metro Jail requires all visitors to be signed in 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, whether you're visiting onsite or remotely. Give yourself a buffer so you're ready when your visit begins.
Confirm you're approved before you try to visit. Mobile Metro Jail only allows visitors who are on the inmate's approved visitation list. If you're not on that list, you won't be able to visit. Check your status ahead of time rather than finding out at the last minute.
Keep your group size within the limit. Mobile Metro Jail allows no more than four visitors per inmate for a visit. If multiple people want to join, plan around that cap so everyone who participates is within the allowed number.
Warning: All personal video visits at Mobile Metro Jail are monitored and recorded. Speak as if someone else may review it later.
During the visit, follow staff instructions and the facility's rules, especially around who can participate. Only people on the inmate's approved visitation list are allowed, and each visit is capped at four visitors per inmate. If you're planning a group visit, decide ahead of time who will join so your session stays within those rules.
Reminder: Personal video visits are monitored and recorded. Keep your conversation appropriate for a recorded setting.
