A Visitation Center is now located at the entrance to OCC, near the guard house, that contains five video terminals for visiting inmates. Visitors will be required to check in at the guard house, and then proceed to the Visitation Center to register on the black registration terminal. (See visiting hours listed below.) Visitors may also register ahead of time prior to the visit by going online to WWW.OPSO.net and registering. The registration terminal will direct the visitors to one of the five terminals to use for visiting purposes. All Visits in the Video Visitation Center are Free of Charge
