About the Jail's Visiting Policy

The Clackamas County Jail allows unrestricted adults in custody (AICs) to maintain personal communications and ties with friends and family. This helps their transition from jail back to community life. We ensure jail safety, security, order, and efficient operation while using the least restrictive means possible to regulate public visiting.

Our visitation policies are below. The deputy on duty and all visitors must adhere to these policies. Unless there's a justifiable emergency, do not ask the deputy to make exceptions.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Visiting Adults in Custody

Sign up: Residents wishing to visit an adult in custody must first register online at www.gettingout.com. To sign up, you'll need access to the internet and a valid e-mail address and phone number. You can also register at the kiosk in the Jail's public lobby. 

Visits are conducted using a video relay service. These video visits can be completed in two ways:

1. Online, using any mobile internet device that can download the visitation app. Links to the mobile visitation app can be found here.
2. In the Jail lobby: Video visitation equipment is also available in the Jail Public Lobby, after an account has been created.

Each adult in custody receives up to 2 free 15-minute video visits per week. 

Additional video visits are available for a fee established by the vendor.

How to Register and Schedule a Visit by Internet

1. Register or schedule your visit at www.gettingout.com
2. Sign on to your account or create a new one by clicking the “Create Account” button and following the online instructions.
3. You will be able to schedule visits online by following the instructions on the website.

Video visits can be scheduled up to 14 days in advance.  However, advance scheduling does not guarantee that a video visit will occur at that time.

You can also visit with an adult in custody without scheduling in advance.  Choose the “Video Visit on Demand” option to connect with an adult in custody without an appointment. 

Sending a Message to an Adult in Custody

We are unable to pass any messages to adults in custody.  

You can send a message to an adult in custody using the tablets available in each block, after registering at www.gettingout.com and following the online instructions.  

You can also leave a voicemail for an adult in custody by contacting GTL/viaPath at 1-866-516-0115.

Visiting Days and Times

Visiting hours each day are as follows:

• 8 to 11 a.m.
• 1 to 4:45 p.m.
• 7 to 9:30 p.m.

All 15-minute visits must be completed within these visiting hours. 

The adult in custody is responsible for telling visitors their assigned visiting times, as well as changes to those visiting times.

Who can have visitors?

• All adults in custody who are not on Disciplinary Status may have visitors within the scheduled times.  
• Adults in custody on Disciplinary Status will not be allowed to visit.  
• Visiting times for adults in custody on Administrative Detention rotate daily.  

Questions? Problems? Please call the Jail at 503-722-6777 if you are having difficulty connecting for visitation.  

Any disturbances caused by visitors or adults in custody will result in the termination of their visit.

Results of Visitation Violations

• The supervisor may warn visitors who are being loud, disruptive, or disorderly to restore the needed demeanor immediately within the facility. 
• If order is not immediately restored, the supervisor will require the visitor(s) to leave the facility and the visit will be cancelled. 
• Any inappropriate behavior, dress, policy violations, or actions deemed inappropriate by supervisor during an at-home, internet visit will result in the visit being canceled, and no refund will be issued.
• At their discretion, supervisors can issue restrictions on visitation for up to a 30 days, or a Notice of Expulsion for violations of the visitation policy for a set period of time. 
• The visitation restriction or expulsion can be appealed to the facility commander within 10 days. The facility commander's decision is final.
• Visitors may be asked to submit to a non-invasive "pat search" if the supervisor has reasonable suspicion the visitor may have contraband, and/or items used to defeat the jail safety and security. Criteria for pat search would be (but not limited to) bulging clothing in odd places, large containers such as paper bags, suitcases, etc.

An adult in custody may use money in his or her account to pay for fees or to purchase products available through the Jail's commissary -- including toiletries, writing paper, envelopes, pencils, postage, and snack items.

How do I make a deposit in an adult in custody's account?

Please note: Cash, money orders, or bank cashier's checks are not accepted through the mail.  Money received will be returned to sender.

To place money in an adult in custody's trust account:

When money is placed into an adult in custody's trust account, money owed for services -- such as medical co-pays while in custody -- will be automatically deducted from the account. The remaining money is available to buy commissary items or phone time.

Funds may take up to 72 hours to transfer to an adult in custody's commissary account. As a result, funds may not made available for commissary purchases immediately. All transactions handled by the money transfer agents will require you to pay a service/convenience fee. Clackamas County Sheriff's Office does not receive any of these fees. Upon release from the jail, an adult in custody will receive the balance of any remaining funds in the account in the form of a check.

The Clackamas County Jail is located at 2206 Kaen Road, Oregon City, OR 97045. map

Patrol serves several vital functions -- including crisis intervention, intake functions for crime and social problems, and a vast array of other statutory functions.

Crisis Intervention

Patrol deputies intervene directly in crisis situations. These include crimes in progress -- in which a patrol response is necessary to prevent injury or damage to property -- as well as crises of a non-criminal nature, such as injuries, suicide attempts, lost persons, etc.

Intake

The patrol deputy also serves as intake person for most reported crimes. Patrol responds to most crime victims personally or by telephone. They generate written reports and conduct initial investigations into major crimes and often complete investigations of less serious crimes.

Patrol serves as an intake point for social problems of a non-criminal nature. These include placement of runaway juveniles and assistance to stranded motorists. In many way, a Patrol deputy serves as a 24-hour-per-day intake point for local government services.

Deputies also provide direct assistance to city residents and their police. They provide both routine and emergency back-up for city police officers and special units -- including K9, SWAT, and CRAFT, among others.
