All visits will be 30 minutes in length. Additional time may be granted if necessary and available for law enforcement, attorney and certain other visit types. Please contact the visiting department, using the contact information below, for more information on how to receive additional time.

Attorney and/or Law Enforcement Visits
Effective 03-28-20 all professional visits will be done through the use of the facilities video visitation system.
Professional visitors will have two options to visit with detainees using the system.
- Remote visits – this option will allow professionals to visit with detainees from their home or office through the use of an internet connected device such as a computer, tablet or smartphone. There is a fee charged by the vendor for this service.
- Onsite visits – this option will allow professionals to utilize an onsite visiting kiosk to visit with detainees. The hours of availability are limited to business hours. There is no fee for this service.
All professionals wishing to see a detainee, either remotely or on site, must fill out and return the “KCSO Attorney Remote Visitation Registration Form" along with a copy of their Driver's License and their current ARDC/BAR card.
KCSO Attorney Remote Visitation Registration Form
Once the required documentation has been received and the professional has been registered in the system, the registering professional will receive an email containing step by step directions on how to schedule remote or on site visits. This email will also include instructions on how the professionals can test their devices for and connect to remote visits.
Attorneys are allowed to utilize interpreters, investigators and/or other assistants during visits. Each person using the video visitation system will need to fill out the “KCSO Attorney Remote Visitation Registration Form".
