Schedule a Visit

All visitations take place over video and must be scheduled through Securus for the Denver Detention Center (DDC) or the Denver County Jail (COJL). In-person visits are not available at this time.

To schedule a video visit, follow the steps below.

Step 1.Create an Account

To schedule a visit, you must set up Securus account (if you already have one, skip this step). If you prefer, you may do this at a DDC or COJL lobby terminal. If you need assistance setting up an account, contact Securus Customer Care.

Step 2.On-Site or Remote Visit?

Two types of video visits are offered: a) on-site video visits from a facility lobby or b) video visits from a remote location.

Remote video visits can be conducted from anywhere using the Securus app on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone. Remote video visits are $8.99 + tax for a 30-minute visit and visitation hours vary by location. To learn more about remote video visitations, check out the Securus website or call 1-877-578-3658.

Step 3.Prepare for Your Visit

Bring Identification.

A current valid ID is required at time of check-in, which includes:

  • U.S. driver license or state issued identification card
  • Passport
  • Military ID
  • Consulate ID

Be punctual.

Arrive 15 minutes prior to your visit to check in, locate a terminal, and log into the system (you may log in one minute prior to the scheduled time).

No rescheduling.

Visitation windows are not moveable once scheduled. If you arrive late, but before your timeslot expires, you have whatever time remains to complete your visit.

If the person in our care misses a visit without canceling prior to their absence, they will be charged with a visit which will affect their allotment of two visits per week.
