Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 11, June 3, 2024

Section 10A:18-6.22 - Video visit availability, monitoring, restrictions, and limitations

(a) Video visits are available only in a limited number of correctional facilities, at this time, that have the network capacity and necessary vendor-provided equipment. Inmates should check their correctional facility and unit specific Inmate Handbooks for availability, as well as any additional restrictions or limitations that may apply.

(b) Video visits are monitored and recorded for the entire video visit session. Conduct that is inappropriate in any manner, including indecent exposure will not be tolerated. If, at any time during a video visit, the custody officer deems an inmate's conduct is inappropriate, the video session will be subject to immediate termination without warning. If the video session is terminated for inappropriate conduct, related costs will not be refunded.

(c) Inmates shall not agree to, authorize, or encourage any third-party to:

1. Use the video visit service to transmit any content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, obscene, or is otherwise objectionable; or

2. Use the video visit service for any fraudulent or inappropriate purpose, or in violation of prohibited acts at N.J.A.C. 10A:4-1.1 or the Inmate Handbook. Violation of this paragraph may result in immediate termination of an inmate's, or other user's account, and may subject an inmate, or other user, to State and Federal penalties and other legal consequences.

(d) Video visits service should not be used by attorneys to communicate with incarcerated individuals, as the content of the visit will not be treated as privileged and confidential.
