How to Schedule a Video Visit at Northwest Regional Corrections Center (NWRCC)

Before booking, get the basics ready. You'll need a free VideoVisitAnywhere/Securus visitation account, and you'll submit a photo plus a government-issued photo ID for facility approval (the ID must include your date of birth). For at-home visits, you'll also need a device that can handle the call - either the free Securus Visitation mobile app on a phone or tablet, or a computer with a webcam and high-speed internet.

  1. Create your free visitation account - Use the VideoVisitAnywhere/Securus visitation platform (you can also start from the free Securus Visitation mobile app).
  2. Upload your visitor photo - This is part of the visitor verification process.
  3. Submit a government-issued photo ID - Your ID is required for facility approval before you’ll be able to schedule visits.
  4. Wait for approval - Once the facility approves you as a visitor, scheduling options will open up in your account.

Inside your visitation account, request access specifically for Northwest Regional Corrections Center. Jail staff will review your request - you can't schedule anything until that approval goes through. Once approved, you can book both on-site and at-home video visits through the same account.

How to Schedule a Video Visit at Northwest Regional Corrections Center (NWRCC)

At NWRCC, every visit - on-site or at-home - must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Start times are fixed and can't be adjusted, so pick a slot you can reliably make.

  1. Log in to your approved visitation account - You won’t be able to schedule until your request to visit NWRCC is approved.
  2. Choose “Schedule a Visit” - This is where you’ll select the type of visit and see available time slots.
  3. Pick a date and time at least 24 hours out - That 24-hour lead time applies to all visits.
  4. If you’re scheduling at-home, pick an open slot within the at-home window - At-home visits can be scheduled every day from 7:00 a.m. to 9:20 p.m., but availability can change due to jail lockdowns.
  5. Confirm your appointment - Double-check the time before you finalize, since scheduled times can’t be moved.

Cost: On-site (public) video visits are free. At-home visits are paid by the visitor in advance at the platform’s rates (listed as $12.95 for 20 minutes, with an introductory promotional price of $5.95 for 20 minutes), and those payments are non-refundable.

The main differences come down to how often you can visit and when. On-site visits are limited to two 20-minute sessions per inmate per day, available only on weekdays: Monday through Friday from 8:00–9:00 a.m., 9:40–10:40 a.m., and 1:00–4:00 p.m. No on-site visiting on weekends or holidays. At-home visits work differently - inmates can receive unlimited remote visits, and you can schedule any day of the week from 7:00 a.m. to 9:20 p.m. (though times may vary due to jail lockdowns).

  • Choose on-site if you want a free visit and can make one of the weekday on-site time blocks.
  • Choose at-home if you need evening/weekend flexibility and can schedule within 7:00 a.m. to 9:20 p.m. (keeping in mind lockdowns can affect availability).
  • Plan for at-home costs upfront - the visit must be paid before it starts and the charge is non-refundable.
  • Make sure your account is approved - you’ll need to submit your photo and government-issued photo ID before you can schedule.
  • For at-home visits, have the right setup - the free Securus Visitation app on a phone/tablet, or a computer with a webcam and high-speed internet.

For on-site visits, check in with corrections staff when you arrive and bring an official photo ID that includes your date of birth. For at-home visits, treat your appointment like a hard start time - be ready to connect right when your session begins.

Reminder: At-home visits must be paid for before the visit and are non-refundable. At-home scheduling windows can also vary due to jail lockdowns.
