Tri-County Community Corrections, MN

All visits at Tri-County Community Corrections require scheduling at least 24 hours ahead through videovisitanywhere.com. You'll create a free account, then submit a government photo ID and a photo for facility approval before booking. On-site visitation runs Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, split into three time blocks—no weekend or holiday visits. Each inmate can receive two 20-minute on-site visits per day, plus unlimited remote visits from home. Remote sessions are billed at the platform's rates, paid by the visitor, and non-refundable. Bring an official photo ID showing your date of birth when you check in. Staff may run warrant and court-order checks that could affect approval. Visits can be monitored and recorded, strict conduct rules apply, and any contraband attempt ends visiting privileges. Driving while visiting is illegal.

Tri-County Community Corrections uses Securus for remote video, phone, and messaging.

The biggest rule for mailing items to someone at Tri-County Community Corrections (NWRCC): personal property can't be mailed in or dropped off unless pre-approved. Unapproved shipped property gets returned to sender. For letters and documents, use the U.S. Postal Service. Incoming mail is typically inspected for contraband—prohibited items may be returned or destroyed if there's no return address. Mail may also be opened and scanned for digital delivery, and originals may not be returned. To prevent delays, address everything with the person's full name, their DOC OID or SPN number, the facility name, and spell out "Minnesota." Processing times vary, so check with the facility for current instructions.

Tri‑County Community Corrections uses Turnkey Corrections as its commissary provider. If someone's trust account stays below $1.00 for at least three consecutive days, the facility supplies necessary hygiene items through the canteen. To add money, use approved deposit methods—typically an online transfer vendor, an in‑facility kiosk, or sometimes mail. Options vary by facility. Include the incarcerated person's full name and their booking number or OID number with any deposit. Stick to approved channels and don't mail cash. If mailing is allowed, use an accepted payment type like a money order or certified bank check.
