What You Can't Wear to a Video Visit at Northern Neck Regional Jail (and How Visits Are Monitored)
Video visits can get cut short—or denied entirely—over dress code or behavior issues. Here's a quick checklist to avoid problems, plus what "recorded and monitored" actually means at Northern Neck Regional Jail.
Prohibited Attire
- ✓ Nudity
- ✓ Provocative clothing
- ✓ Tight-fitting clothing
Warning: If you violate the clothing rules, you can be barred from visitation.
Show up sober. If staff think you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they'll cancel the visit on the spot. Not sure you'll come across as steady on camera? Reschedule. It's better than losing the visit entirely.
- ✓ Loud talking
- ✓ Excessive emotionalism
- ✓ Any type of disruptive behavior
Put away your phone and any other devices during the visit - the only exception is the device you're using for the video call itself. Pulling out a second phone can interrupt or end your session early.
Every visit at Northern Neck Regional Jail is recorded and electronically monitored. Assume someone is watching and saving the footage - because they are. Stick to family updates and everyday conversation, and skip anything you wouldn't want on tape.
- Plan for a 20-minute visit - each visit lasts 20 minutes.
- Log in in the right window - if you scheduled in advance, log in at least 10 minutes before your start time and no more than 20 minutes before.
- Don’t arrive late - if you’re late, you may only get the remaining time, or you may not be allowed to visit depending on the circumstances.
- Bring an adult for minors - visitors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
