Orange County Jail Video Visit Rules: What You Need to Know Before You Go

Each inmate gets three video visits per week. If multiple family members want to visit, plan those sessions carefully so you don't run out of visits before everyone has a chance to connect.

The Video Visitation Center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The last session starts at 9 p.m., so even a late-night visit needs to be on the schedule before that cutoff.

Each inmate can have up to three visitors per video session, but no more than two can be adults. If three people are attending, at least one must be a child. Bringing a larger group? Decide ahead of time who will attend so you don't lose the visit at check-in.

• ✓ Valid driver’s license
• ✓ Valid passport
• ✓ Valid state ID
• ✓ Valid military ID

1. Treat your appointment time as the cutoff. If you arrive after the start of your scheduled session, you will not be allowed to visit.
2. Get there at least 15 minutes early. This gives you time to check in without risking a late arrival.

All video visits are monitored and may be recorded. Assume staff can hear and see everything, and keep your conversation appropriate.
