Nassau County Corrections Center, NY

Visitation at Nassau County Correctional Center is organized by housing building. Public visits for B and D buildings happen Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while E building visits fall on Tuesday and Thursday. Multiple sessions run Monday through Friday, and each one gives you at least one hour starting when the incarcerated person enters the visiting room. You must book your visit online at least 24 hours and no more than 5 days in advance. Walk-ins aren't allowed, and same-day requests may be denied. During online registration, you'll provide your identifying information along with front and back images of your ID. Arrive at least 15 minutes early for check-in. Expect a criminal background check. Visiting is closed on weekends and official county holidays.

Phone calls from Nassau County Corrections Center are monitored and/or recorded at all times, with one exception: properly registered attorney calls. For attorney-client calls to receive privileged treatment, the attorney must first register the phone line by sending an official letter on firm letterhead listing the telephone numbers to be used. Three-way calling, call forwarding, and conference calling are all prohibited. Violations can lead to discipline, loss of privileges, or criminal charges. During COVID-19 measures, inmates were allowed two free five-minute phone calls per week. Before setting up calling or registering a legal line, confirm the current phone vendor, account setup process, and any identification or scheduling rules with the facility directly.

There are several ways to put money on an incarcerated person's account at Nassau County Corrections Center: online or mobile portals, phone payments, lobby or visitor kiosks, mail using approved money orders, and in-person deposits at a cashier or lobby window. Online and phone deposits are typically handled by third-party vendors, so expect service fees and processing times that vary by vendor and payment type. Pick the method that works best for you. Online or phone tends to be the fastest but costs more, while mail or in-person deposits may take longer and can help you avoid some vendor charges. You'll generally need the person's identifying information, such as a booking or jacket number, or their full name and date of birth. For in-person drop-offs, bring a valid photo ID. Bail or court fees may use separate online portals with different steps and fees.
