Worcester County Jail, MA

Worcester County Jail follows a published visiting schedule, so check it before you go and plan to arrive 15 to 30 minutes early for sign-in and processing. Each inmate can receive up to three visits per week and may list up to seven approved visitors. Only people on that pre-approval list can schedule video visits. In the Visiting Room, a maximum of two adults may visit at one time. There's no limit on the number of children, but the accompanying adult must supervise them at all times. All visitors must sign in, show a current photo ID, and pass through metal detectors. If you fail screening, you'll be processed in a waiting area before re-entry. Video visits are recorded, monitored, and subject to the same clothing and conduct rules as in-person visits. Coin-operated lockers are available for your belongings, though the Sheriff's Office is not responsible for lost items.

Worcester County Jail uses Securus for inmate phone service. To receive calls, set up a Securus account by phone at 800.844.6591 or online at www.securustech.net, then make sure you're added to the inmate's approved phone list. For electronic messaging, messages go through AccessCorrections Secure Mail and typically appear at the facility's Edge Kiosk within about 24 to 28 hours. As with many county facilities, phone calls, video visits, and electronic messages are handled through third-party vendors, monitored, and subject to facility rules. Get your account set up with the approved provider and complete any required approvals before you expect calls or try to schedule video visits.
