Visiting an Inmate
If you wish to visit an inmate, the inmate must place your name on their visiting list.
General Visitation of an Inmate
- You must report to the deputy in the Clackamas County Jail fifteen minutes prior to the inmate's visiting time. If you are late you will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
- You must be 18 years of age or an immediate family member (e.g., son, daughter, brother, sister, or spouse). If you are over eighteen, you must bring a government issued picture identification and if the visitor is a minor child(ren) of an inmate, they must have a legal birth certificate.
- Visitors will be allowed to visit one inmate each visiting day.
- Inmates are allowed two 30 minute visits each week. Trusties are allowed two 1 hour visits each week.
- Visitors will be expected to maintain a calm, quiet, and orderly demeanor the entire length of the visit. Any visitor disrupting the jail environment during the visit may be asked to leave and may be subject to losing future visiting privileges.
- Visitors are expected to be appropriately dressed and for safety reasons are subject to inspections.
- Gifts, such as books, magazines, candy, and flowers will not be allowed for inmates.
Telephones
It is the policy of the Clackamas County Jail to provide telephone use to unrestricted inmates in order to maintain personal communications and ties with friends and family in the community in order to facilitate their future transition from jail life to community life.
General Telephone Use Guidelines
- Telephones are available in units at the jail with the exception of disciplinary blocks. Inmates may use the telephones from late morning until late evening.
- Inmates may use the telephones to call collect locally or anywhere in the United States. Phone recipients must accept the collect charges. Telephones will not accept incoming calls.
- Calls lasting longer than fifteen minutes will automatically "time-out" and disconnect.
- The monitoring/recording of any call may be used in inmate disciplinary or court proceeding as evidence.
- Telephones are a privilege
