All inmate visits take place through a video visitation system and are scheduled by the visitor by appointment only.
Visitors may select the date and time for their visit by creating an account through Smart Communications. Funds are converted to 'credits' which are used for remote visits (one credit = 0.01). See below for contact information.
Each inmate is allowed one (1) free visit and one (1) paid visit per week. Visits can be either remote or on-site. Special visits can be made upon request. Contact us for more information.
