Core Prohibitions

  • Record video or audio of the visit
  • Take screenshots during the visit
  • Photograph the visit
  • Post any part of the visit to social media
  • Appear nude
  • Wear revealing clothing

Scurry County Jail uses customer.cidnet.net for scheduling video visits. The rules below apply to every session booked through that site. Treat each one like a formal jail visit, not a casual video call.

Every video visit at Scurry County Jail is recorded and may be monitored. Keep that in mind when you're talking. Privacy is limited, and anything said or shown on screen can be reviewed.

If you violate jail rules during a video visit, or ignore directions from staff, the jail can end the visit on the spot. This applies even when the issue is on the visitor's side, like inappropriate behavior on camera or refusing to stop something when told.

Beyond ending the call, rule violations can lead to disciplinary action and the visitor being barred from future visitation. One bad decision during a call can create longer-term problems for both you and the person you're trying to stay connected with.

Don't screen-record the call, record audio, take a screenshot, or snap a photo "just for personal use." Don't livestream it or post clips or images to social media. Since visits are recorded and may be monitored, assume the jail can detect and respond to anything that happens during the session.

  1. Stop what you are doing immediately. If you were recording, taking screenshots, or doing anything that violates the rules, end it right away.
  2. Follow staff directions. The jail can terminate visits for rule violations or not following staff instructions, so compliance is your best chance to prevent the situation from escalating.
  3. Do not try to work around the termination. Repeated attempts to push past the rules can increase the chance of losing future visitation.

Note: Violations can lead to disciplinary action and visitors being barred from future visitation. Check the Scurry County Jail information page and the video-visit scheduling site (customer.cidnet.net) for next steps and any updates on your account or visitation status.
