Inmate visitation requirements are as follows:

• Visitation is conducted via video. In person visitation is not allowed.
• Visits are limited to 20 minutes.
• There are two ways to utilize video visitation:

• Option 1: There is a video visitation booth located in the main lobby of the Price County Sheriff's Office. This option is free of charge. There is only one video monitor in the booth, so only one visit may be conducted at a time. Visitations using the onsite booth may be scheduled in advance by contacted jail staff at 715-339-4116.  Walk-ins are accepted, but be aware that there may not be open appointments.
• Option 2: Video visitation may also be accessed through your home computer via the internet. Home visits are not subject to the same schedule as on site visits. Home visits are available from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. To utilize the home visit option you must create a visitor account at CIDNET. Once you have created a visitor account, you must wait to be approved by jail staff before you can schedule a visit. Once you have received an approval e-mail you may schedule a visit. Home visits must be made at least 24 hours in advance. There is a fee for this option. If you need any assistance creating a user account or setting up a visitation, contact CIDNET at 888-984-1903.

• Any special visitation requests, i.e. outside of normal visitation hours, should be made in writing to the Sheriff.
