General Visitation Information

The Norfolk County Jail offers in-person and video visitation for approved visitors, each with specific guidelines to ensure a secure and respectful environment.

In-Person Visits:
Visitors must arrive 15 minutes before check-in and adhere to the designated visiting schedule. All visitors must be pre-approved and may be on only one inmate’s visiting list. Weekday visits permit up to two adult visitors per 45-minute session, while weekend visits allow a combination of three individuals, such as two children with one adult or one child with two adults. Children must remain supervised at all times. A strict dress code prohibits shorts, miniskirts, tank tops, tight or see-through clothing, flip-flops, open-toed shoes, stilettos, hats, and hooded sweatshirts. Food, drink, and electronic devices, including cell phones and smartwatches, are also prohibited during visits.

Video Visits:
Only visitors on the inmate’s pre-approved list may schedule video visits. Video visitation is a privilege, and all participants must conduct themselves appropriately. Off-site visits can be scheduled through the Securus Video Visitation website, with each inmate allowed up to two video visits per day, provided they are not consecutive. The video background should be neutral or clear, and inappropriate conduct or attire, including revealing clothing, weapons, drugs, or gang symbols, is strictly forbidden. Only pre-approved visitors should appear on camera, and any other person on screen may lead to visit termination and suspension. Video sessions are recorded and monitored by Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office personnel. Any misconduct may result in the suspension of visitation privileges.

Visitor Pre-Approval Process:
All visitors must complete the Visitor Pre-Approval Form, available online, and email it to visits@norfolksheriffma.org. Visitors are encouraged to call 781-329-3705 to confirm their approval status. To verify current visiting hours, visitors should also call the facility, as schedules may vary based on housing assignments.

Violations of any visitation rules may result in the suspension of visitation rights for both the visitor and the inmate.

Community corrections programs, also referred to as community supervision programs, oversee the majority of adults under correctional supervision, including those on probation or parole. Administered by agencies or courts with enforcement authority, these programs facilitate the transition of individuals back into the community post-incarceration, a process often fraught with challenges such as substance abuse and limited job opportunities. Rehabilitation and reentry support form integral aspects of these programs, aiming to address these hurdles. Corrections officials collaborate with community treatment organizations to tailor supervision and services to individuals' needs, facilitating successful reentry.

Digital technology presents community corrections officials with innovative tools to monitor individuals on probation or parole, aiding in their compliance and progress. Enhanced communication channels between supervisors and offenders are facilitated through smartphone-based video, text, or instant messaging. These technologies strengthen communication lines, enabling efficient supervision and ensuring individuals fulfill their legal obligations.

You must get approval before scheduling a visit, please call 617-471-7272 for detailed instructions.
