Visitation Information

The Hernando County Detention Center encourages visitation for inmates, recognizing the importance of maintaining ties with family and friends. However, to ensure smooth and uninterrupted visitation, certain rules must be adhered to. Visits are by appointment only.

Visiting hours are Monday through Friday, with the first visit beginning at 9:30 a.m. and the last visit concluding at 4:30 p.m. The facility is closed for visitation on weekends and holidays.

The facility contracts with Smart Communications to manage the video visitation service. Visitors can register for visitation through the Smart Communications website at www.smartinmate.com (choose Video Visitation) or contact their customer service at 727-349-1561. A valid state driver’s license or identification card with a current photo must be uploaded during registration.

Each inmate is allowed four free 30-minute visits per week, which can be conducted remotely or onsite. For remote visitation, visitors must create an account with Smart Communications, schedule the visit by entering the inmate's name, and ensure they have sufficient service credits. Remote visits are available in 30-minute increments from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., except between 4:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

For onsite visits, visitors must arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled time. Late arrivals must reschedule their visit. Visitors who leave before the session ends will forfeit the remaining time and will not be allowed to re-enter until the next scheduled visit.

Inmates can also place video visitation phone calls anytime during offsite visitation hours using the housing kiosks or tablets, provided they have credit on their Smart Communications account.

Visitation, including remote and offsite, is unavailable from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and during emergencies.

Items such as cell phones, smartwatches, communication devices, tobacco products, e-cigarettes, food, beverages, firearms, knives, and photography devices are prohibited. Visitors suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be allowed to visit.

Visitors must dress appropriately, including wearing shirts and shoes. Undergarments should not be visible, and prohibited clothing includes items that are revealing or have offensive slogans. Hats and head coverings required for medical or religious reasons must be searched by a deputy in privacy. The Visitation Clerk will determine the appropriateness of attire.
