Physical Contact Rules at Otsego County Jail Visits
Otsego County Jail allows only limited physical contact during visits. Keep contact brief and follow the timing rules—you're much less likely to have your visit cut short.
Physical contact at Otsego County Jail is limited to the start and end of your visit. You can shake hands when the visit begins and again when it ends. A brief kiss and hug follow the same rule - beginning or end only, not during the visit itself.
Anything beyond quick, appropriate contact is a violation. Fondling isn't allowed at any point. Prolonged embraces aren't permitted either - there's no exception for "later in the visit."
- ✓ Inmates must remain seated with their feet on the floor during the visit.
- ✓ Inmates must keep their hands on the visiting counter during the visit.
Staff can end your visit immediately if they believe the rules aren't being followed. It's at their discretion.
- Treat every rule as enforceable - any violation of the visiting rules can result in disciplinary sanctions.
- Expect contact privileges to be restricted - one possible sanction is loss of contact visiting.
- Plan for less visiting time if sanctions are imposed - a possible sanction is reducing the inmate to one-hour visitation per week.
