What Can Get Your Visit Terminated at Otsego County Jail

Staff at Otsego County Jail can end a visit immediately - no explanation required. This applies whether the issue involves the incarcerated person or the visitor. Even something minor can cut your visit short if staff decide it warrants ending.

Note: Visitation rules and regulations can be changed by the Chief Administrative Officer or their designee, so expectations may be updated over time.

What Can Get Your Visit Terminated at Otsego County Jail

Show up appearing intoxicated - or even just seeming like you might be - and you won't get in. Staff make this call on the spot based on their judgment. If there's any chance you could be perceived as under the influence of alcohol or drugs, skip the visit and come back another day.

  • Profanity
  • Vulgarity
  • Loud or boisterous talking

Getting your visit ended isn't the only consequence. Otsego County Jail warns that rule violations can lead to disciplinary sanctions - including losing contact visiting privileges or being limited to one hour of visitation per week. One bad visit can affect all your future visits, not just that day.

If your visit gets terminated, find out what you need to do before trying again. Contact the jail directly to ask how the termination affects future visits and whether there are reinstatement steps to follow.
