Visitor information

Families, friends and community members can arrange to visit inmates. JMCC recognises that visits are important to maintain strong family relationships and make it easier for inmates to readjust to life in the community when they are released.

Visits take place on Saturday and Sunday only. Visits will continue to be available over the Christmas and New Year period.

Bookings

A Visitor Identification Number (VIN) is required for individuals requesting contact with inmates in person, by telephone, audiovidual link (AVL) or to deposit money into an inmate account.

• To apply for a VIN, download or print the VIN application form (PDF, 221.7 KB)
• Email your VIN request form to [email protected].
• Visit bookings are made through JUST Connect.

JUST Connect opens for bookings for the upcoming weekend on 8:00 am Monday and closes at 3:00 pm Thursday.

Visit rules and requirements

JMCC inmates are allowed to 1 visit per week, subject to availability: either 1 in-person or 1 AVL or 1 family tablet visit.

COVID-safety measures apply to in-person visits; ensure you know the rules to avoid missing out.

Video visits are subject to the same policy and application processes as in-person visits with an inmate. A number of additional rules apply to video visits. If a family member, friend or inmate breaches any of these rules, the video visit may be terminated. View the rules for video visits.

Conditions of entry

Appropriate dress standards

The visits area is a family environment. You must dress appropriately. This generally means clothes must be respectable and not too provocative.

You cannot wear anything that hides your face, except for religious reasons. In that case you will be asked to remove your face covering temporarily so staff can verify your identity.

Inappropriate dress (PDF, 419.1 KB) includes:

• Clothes that have possibly controversial logos, words or slogans such as:
  • Motorcycle gang 'colours' or gang insignias
  • Logos or symbols associated with drugs, drug paraphernalia, or swear words

  • Tops and dresses that expose the stomach or chest
  • Swimsuits, and skirts or shorts shorter than mid-thigh
  • Mesh or other "see-through" clothes

Other conditions

Lockers are provided for safekeeping of your valuables. A $2 coin (refundable) is required to access the lockers.

You must not hand any property to offenders. It must be given to an officer at the visits processing counter who will then pass it on to the relevant property officers.

You and your personal belongings may searched by either walking through a metal detector or with a hand-held scanning device. You may also be required to empty all your pockets.

Many centres also conduct random scans of visitors by sniffer dogs, which are trained to detect prohibited drugs.
