Rules for Visits in New Hampton
The County Jail page bans cell phones, cameras and every kind of recording device during visits; recording or photographing a visit gets the visitor banned. Damaging the visitation equipment can bring a criminal mischief charge for harm to county property.
Jail Administrator Jordan P. Gansen or staff may deny or suspend visits when the security of an inmate or the facility is at risk, and breaking the rules leads to a visiting ban. Video calling through Reliance, which appears in the vendor's New Hampton data, is a different service from the Wednesday sessions.
