What to Do If You're Running Late to Your RYOCF Visit

For in-person visits at RYOCF, the cutoff is 20 minutes. Arrive later than that, and you won't be allowed in - your visit gets cancelled. If you're cutting it close, treat that 20-minute mark as a hard deadline. Parking, walking to the entrance, and check-in all eat into your arrival time.

Reminder: More than 20 minutes late for an in-person visit means you’ll be turned away and the visit will be cancelled.

Video visits offer a bit more flexibility. RYOCF lets visitors sign in up to 10 minutes late for a scheduled video visit. But that window is specifically for signing in - don't wait until the last second. Log in as soon as you can.

Even with that 10-minute grace period, being late can still cost you. If you're late to a video visit or don't cancel in time, you'll still be charged. Charges can also apply if either person - visitor or the person in custody - is a no-show. If you know you won't make it, cancel as soon as possible.

Watch the clock: Sign in promptly for video visits. If you’re running late or don’t cancel soon enough, you can still be charged.

  1. Log in to your ICSolutions account - visits at RYOCF are managed through ICSolutions, so start there.
  2. Use your Party ID details - your account is tied to the facility-provided unique Party ID (given to you from the visiting list).
  3. Follow the on-screen options to cancel or reschedule - if you already know you won’t make the visit, act quickly so you’re not treated like a late arrival or no-show.
  1. Try the scheduling change in your ICSolutions account first - it’s the fastest way to fix most issues.
  2. Call ICSolutions customer service if you can’t schedule, cancel, or reschedule - reach them at 1-888-506-8407.
  3. Explain the problem clearly - tell them you’re trying to manage an RYOCF visit and what’s failing (for example, the cancel/reschedule option not working).

Tip: The supported path is through your ICSolutions account using the facility-provided Party ID. If that doesn’t work, call ICSolutions customer service.

What to Do If You're Running Late to Your RYOCF Visit

Minimize Risk Tips

  • Treat the in-person visit time as a hard cutoff: more than 20 minutes late means you’ll be turned away and the visit will be cancelled.
  • For video visits, sign in as soon as you can - RYOCF allows up to 10 minutes late, but waiting increases the chance you miss the window.
  • If you know you won’t make a video visit, cancel or reschedule through your ICSolutions account as quickly as possible.
  • Keep your Party ID handy (it’s required for your ICSolutions account setup/updates).
  • Save any confirmation details from changes you make in ICSolutions (especially cancellations or reschedules).

These steps match how RYOCF enforces lateness. For in-person visits, hitting the 20-minute mark means you're done before you start. For video visits, you get a 10-minute sign-in window - but showing up late or failing to cancel in time can still mean charges. Your safest bet: log into your ICSolutions account early, make changes the moment your plans shift, and use your unique Party ID so your account stays correctly linked for scheduling.
