How to Schedule a Video Visit at Morrow County Corrections (and What Happens If You're Late)

All visitation at Morrow County Corrections happens by video. And here's the catch: if you don't log in within 10 minutes of your scheduled start time, the visit is terminated. A few minutes late can mean losing your entire session.

Time-sensitive: You have to schedule video visits at least 12 hours in advance, so same-day plans usually won’t work.

How to Schedule a Video Visit at Morrow County Corrections (and What Happens If You're Late)

You can schedule a video visit online or at the visitation kiosk in the public lobby. Either way, plan ahead - visits must be booked at least 12 hours in advance. Lock in your time the day before rather than waiting until the last minute.

  • Complete the required online visitor registration (even if you plan to visit using the lobby kiosk)
  • Expect visits to be tracked in a computerized log (visitor name, inmate visited, scheduled time, and end time)
  • Have valid government-issued photo ID available if asked (for example, a military ID, a valid photo ID card, or a passport)

Since visits are video-based, you won't sit across a table from your loved one. You can connect from the visitation area in the public lobby or from home via the internet - either way, it's a video call rather than an in-person meeting.

Note: "Non-contact" means you'll communicate through a video screen - no physical contact during the visit.

Morrow County Corrections has a strict late policy: if you don't log in within 10 minutes of your scheduled start time, the visit is terminated. Treat your start time like a flight departure - miss the window, and you're out of luck.

  1. Try logging in immediately - if you’re still within the first few minutes, get connected right away so you don’t hit the 10-minute cutoff.
  2. Confirm you’re using the right account and time slot - mix-ups happen; double-check you’re signing in under the same registration you used when scheduling.
  3. Reschedule as soon as you can - book the next available opening online or at the lobby kiosk, remembering the 12-hour advance requirement.
  4. Build a buffer for next time - aim to be ready early so a slow connection or last-second password reset doesn’t cost you the visit.

Practical Tips

  • Log in 10–15 minutes early so you’re fully connected before the scheduled start time
  • Test your camera, microphone, and internet connection ahead of time
  • Have your username/password ready (and reset it before visit day if needed)
  • Use a quiet, well-lit space so you can hear and be heard clearly
  • Keep your device charged (or plugged in) to avoid a mid-visit shutdown
