The county also uses the CIDNET platform for video visitation scheduling. All video visits are recorded and subject to monitoring. You can schedule visits up to seven days in advance through customer.cidnet.net. Each inmate gets up to three video visits per day, available from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, with the exception of meal times.

Release information is added once the person leaves custody.
Booking records from Scurry County may also show aliases, previous bookings in the county, the issuing authority for each charge, and disposition status. Some third-party sites include mugshots where the sheriff's office has released them.
Records that are exempt from public disclosure include juvenile offender records, active investigation files, medical records, and information that could compromise jail security. An arrest record does not indicate guilt. People are presumed innocent until convicted.
The booking process at the Scurry County Jail typically takes one to several hours. It includes identity verification, fingerprinting, medical screening, property inventory, and mugshot. Once completed, the inmate is assigned to a housing unit and the booking record becomes available to the public.
