How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Putnam County Jail provides remote video visitation, including on-demand visits, seven days a week during specified time blocks. All visits are monitored and recorded. The director of corrections (or a designee) can deny visitation to maintain safety, security, or good order. Sharing visits between inmates is prohibited and can lead to the visit being terminated and possible suspension of visitation privileges. Both you and the inmate must avoid loud, obscene, or disruptive behavior. Staff may end visits at their discretion, and if a visitor appears to be under the influence, the visit will be terminated immediately. Before planning any visit, make sure you're on the inmate's approved visitor list, complete the required visitor application, submit it as instructed, and wait for approval.
