Visitation
Visitation
Upon incarceration an inmate, at their request, may fill out a visitation card. They have up to 5 people that can be added to their visitation card who are of IMMEDIATE family to the inmate. The visitation card can take up to 10 days to be approved. The inmate may make changes to their visitation card once every 30 days. IMMEDIATE family members of the inmate include the following:
- Mother or Father
- Brother or Sister
- Child of inmate
- Spouse - Legally married to the inmate and can provide proof (marriage certificate). Common law marriage WILL NOT be approved for visitation
If you want to visit or communicate with a loved one that is in the Gregg County jail we now have several ways that you can do this from the comfort of your home through your phone or home computer.
Inmates are allowed unlimited 20 minute video visits each week from their housing unit. If you wish to schedule a video visit for $0.30 a minute you can go to www.NCIC.com and schedule a visit. This will save you time and money and help you avoid the lines during visitation time at the Jail. If you already have an account with NCIC then you will not need to set up another account you will only need to schedule a video visit by going to www.NCIC.com and click on schedule a video visit.
Inmates are also now allowed to receive unlimited messages at a rate of $0.25 per messages as well as receive pictures at a rate of $0.35 per picture. This is much cheaper than postage, envelopes and the time it takes to mail a letter and the inmate will receive the message and/or picture instantly. There are no limits on how many messages and photos that can be sent to inmates.
In order to make the above process easier and faster you can access all of these features by downloading the NCIC Mobile App from you cell phone.
If you need any help any of these features you can reach NCIC customer support 24/7/365 at 1-888-686-3699.
