Houston County Jail will be re-instituting the

Once face to face phone visitation begins there will be no more free family video visits. All video visits will be paid visits. Face to face visits do not take away from an inmate being able to have video visits and inmates who get video visits will still be allowed face to face visits.

All face to face visitations will be scheduled by calling (334) 712-0762, there will be no walk in visits. All visits must be scheduled no later than 3 P.M. on the Friday before the weekend face to face visits.

 

Inmate Rules violations that result in loss of visitation privileges will be all types of visitation, video and face to face.

1.   Inmates who want visitors must complete a visitation list within 30 days of their booking date. Visitation will be delayed until the list of visitors is checked and approved.
