Video Visits at Worcester County Jail: Rules, Setup, and What's Prohibited

You can't schedule a video visit at Worcester County Jail unless you're already on the incarcerated person's pre-approval list. No exceptions. Even if you're a close family member or you've visited at other facilities, the system won't recognize you as eligible until you're approved.

Once your visit starts, only the approved visitor should appear on camera. Worcester County Jail is strict about this - having anyone else on screen, even briefly, can be treated as a violation and end your visit.

These calls aren't private. Worcester County Jail records all family and friend video sessions, and Sheriff's Office personnel can monitor them electronically. By using the system, you're consenting to that recording and monitoring.

Prohibited Content

  • Nudity
  • Sexual conduct
  • Weapons
  • Drugs
  • Tight-fitting or provocative clothing

Dress for a video visit like you would for an in-person one. Worcester County Jail applies the same dress code rules to both, so what you wear on camera matters just as much.

Practical Setup

  • Confirm you’re on the inmate’s pre-approval list before you try to schedule.
  • Make sure only the pre-approved visitor will be on camera for the full session.
  • Follow the facility dress code, since it applies to video visits too.

Before you plan around a specific day or time, double-check the current rules with the facility. Worcester County warns that visiting hours and policies can change - and that applies to video visits too.

Reminder: Worcester County Jail video visits are recorded and electronically monitored by Sheriff’s Office personnel. Assume anything said or shown can be reviewed later.
