Remote video visits with Pierce County Jail run through Securus Technologies, so you'll need a Securus account first. The same account works for depositing funds to an inmate's account, making it worth setting up even if you're not scheduling a visit right away.

  • A photo ID
  • An email address or a phone number

For home visits, you'll need a computer or similar device with a camera and microphone. Before scheduling, pick the exact device you plan to use and test it to make sure everything works.

  • A working webcam
  • A working microphone
  • Test your webcam and microphone before your visit time

Note: Visiting from home requires the current version of Adobe Flash.

Pierce County Jail caps video visits at three per week. If you're juggling work, school, or coordinating with other family members, plan around that limit so you don't run out of visits when you need them most.

If your Securus account gets rejected, fix whatever issue the rejection notice mentions, then give Pierce County 48 hours to re-review and approve it. That waiting period matters, so hold off on making firm plans until you see the approval come through.

You register for Securus video visits at www.videovisitanywhere.com.

After correcting a rejected account, wait the full 48 hours for re-review. Still not approved after that? Call 253-798-4590 for help with your account.
