Video Visitation at the Polk County Jail
The Polk County Jail utilizes video visitation services provided by Securus Technologies to meet our visitation needs. All inmate visitation is done via video visitation.  Please visit our Corrections page for detailed instructions.

Please visit: www.videovisitanywhere.com to set-up an account and schedule visits.  Once on the site you will need to click on the green “SIGN UP” button to create an account. 

Visitor accounts will be approved once per day, around 8:00 a.m.  Upon approval, visitors will be able to begin scheduling visits.

Visitation hours will be as follows:

Remote Video Visitation:

  • 7 days a week from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
  • 6:00 p.m. – 6:40 p.m. will be blacked out for operational considerations.
  • Pricing is set by and payable through Securus.  Pricing is subject to change. 
  • Current visitation rates are:        
  • 20 minute visit - $12.99
  • 40 minute visit - $25.98
On-site Video Visitation:

  • Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
  • There is no fee for on-site visitation.

You will need to create an account even to visit on-site.

The decision to transition to video visitation was made to provide increased visitation availability and to promote security, order and control of the Jail and Justice Center.

We anticipate a seamless transition into video visitation.  That said this is a substantial operational change so please bear with us as we transition.
WI Sex Offender Website
Thursday, March 27, 2014

In 1997, the State of Wisconsin enacted the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law. This law was created to monitor and track people convicted of sex crimes and to provide access to this information for police, victims and the general public. This website is designed to enhance public safety by making the information contained in the Sex Offender Registry easily accessible to the public. It will also serve to enhance public awareness about sexual violence in our communities and provide valuable information about the ways in which individuals and communities can protect themselves and those they love from acts of sexual violence. The hope is that this website may also, in some meaningful way, reduce future victimization and the suffering that accompanies it. Call anytime (608) 240-5830, office hours 7:45-4:30, Mon-Fri. Other times, please leave a message.
