How to Visit Newport News City Jail (VA)

Planning your first visit? Newport News City Jail's published rules focus mainly on at-home video visits through Securus, plus a separate set of guidelines for juvenile residents. This guide covers those specifics and highlights what you'll need to confirm before scheduling.

At-home video visitation is available by appointment and must be scheduled online through Securus. Slots fill up, so have a couple of backup times ready when you book.

Video visits are typically available daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Schedules can shift, so double-check the current hours when you book.

Juvenile residents can have two visits per week with parents or legal guardians during designated visiting hours. Level 4 residents get 40-minute visits and may include up to two siblings who are 12 years old or younger. Any other juvenile visitors need approval from the Secure Detention Administrator or a Court Order before the visit can happen.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Create your Securus account and schedule your at-home video visit online (remote visits are by appointment, when available).
• ✓ Plan your preferred times within the typical daily window of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• ✓ Pick a couple of alternate time slots in case appointments are not available when you first try to book.

• ✓ Confirm the visitor is a parent or legal guardian, since the schedule allows two visits per week in that category.
• ✓ If the resident is Level 4, plan around a 40-minute visit limit and keep siblings to no more than two children age 12 or younger.
• ✓ If you need any other juvenile visitors approved, get authorization from the Secure Detention Administrator or a Court Order before you try to schedule.
