Visiting Paul Rein Detention Facility

This Is a County Jail, Not an FDOC Facility

Paul Rein Detention Facility is not part of the Florida Department of Corrections. This page does not assume FDOC’s statewide visiting templates apply here. Visiting rules, schedules, and registration requirements are set by the Broward Sheriff’s Office and can differ meaningfully from what you’d see at a Florida state prison. Before making a trip, contact BSO directly at 954-831-5900 or check sheriff.org/paul-rein-detention-facility/ for the current visiting schedule.

Video Visitation Is the Primary Way to Visit

Paul Rein Detention Facility uses Securus Video Connect for video visitation, confirmed across Broward Sheriff’s Office facilities including Main Jail, Conte Complex, and North Broward Bureau. Before you can schedule a video visit, you must register in person at the Video Visitation Center, 2926 State Road 7, Lauderdale Lakes, FL 33311.

The general process works like this:

1. Register in person at the Video Visitation Center, 2926 State Road 7, Lauderdale Lakes, FL 33311.
2. Once registered, you’re added to the inmate’s approved visitor list.
3. Schedule a Securus Video Connect session in advance.

Exact visiting days, hours, and how many sessions you’re allowed per week for this facility were not independently confirmed. Call 954-831-5900 to ask before planning a visit.

What County Jail Visitation Usually Requires

Even where the exact schedule isn’t published, most Florida county jails share some common visitor requirements. Generally expect:

• A completed visitor registration or application, either online or in person
• A valid government-issued photo ID
• Advance scheduling instead of walk-up visits
• Dress code enforcement, generally prohibiting revealing clothing and anything resembling inmate uniforms
• Security screening if visiting in person, which can include a metal detector and pat search

Booking Status and Visitation Eligibility

Whether someone can receive visits can depend on where they are in the booking and court process. Someone recently arrested and awaiting a first appearance hearing may have limited visitation access until their status is more settled. Disciplinary holds, medical isolation, or a facility-wide lockdown can also temporarily suspend visiting privileges for a specific person or the whole facility. Call 954-831-5900 to confirm whether the person you want to visit is currently eligible.

Minors and Visiting

Policies on whether and how children can visit vary by facility. Many jails require a birth certificate or other proof of relationship for a minor to visit, along with a responsible adult present. Confirm whether Paul Rein Detention Facility allows minor visitors and what documentation is required by calling 954-831-5900.

Medical Accommodations

If a visitor has a disability or medical condition that requires accommodation, such as a wheelchair-accessible entrance or an exception to standard screening procedures, call ahead to 954-831-5900 so staff can prepare for your visit and let you know what to expect.

What’s Not Allowed

While this facility’s specific written visitor policy wasn’t available to confirm in full, most Florida county jails restrict the following during visits:

• Cell phones, cameras, or recording devices in the visiting area
• Weapons of any kind, including pocketknives
• Clothing that resembles inmate uniforms, typically solid orange or blue
• Revealing or provocative clothing
• Any attempt to pass items directly to an inmate outside approved channels
• Loud, threatening, or abusive behavior toward staff or other visitors

Violating these rules can result in a visit being cut short or a suspension of future visiting privileges. Confirm the complete list of restrictions by calling 954-831-5900.

What to Do Next

Contact Paul Rein Detention Facility directly at 954-831-5900 or check sheriff.org/paul-rein-detention-facility/ for the current visiting schedule, registration method, and any facility-specific exceptions. Because BSO’s site could not be fully retrieved during research, treat any third-party listing of visiting hours with some caution and confirm directly with the facility before you make the trip.
