Schedule a Video Visit with an Inmate at the Adams County Juvenile Detention Facility

Adams County Juvenile Detention Facility recognizes how important it is for inmates to remain connected with their families and friends. When inmates maintain strong family ties, it helps them reintegrate successfully after release and lowers the chances of reoffending.

Adams County Juvenile Detention Facility facilitates this connection by offering remote video visitation (or will soon). Through this service, loved ones can communicate with inmates using video kiosks or tablets provided by a third-party service.

Video visitation offers several benefits:

Improves inmate morale.
Keeps inmates in touch with their children, family, and friends.
Reduces the need for staff resources, saving the facility money.
Brings in additional revenue for the facility.
Prevents the spread of viruses.
Reduces the risk of contraband entering the facility.

What is a video visit, and how do they work?

Video visitation, also known as remote visitation, is quickly becoming the preferred method for visiting an inmate in jail or prison for the following reasons:

•   It requires little to no staff, versus the staff required to move inmates to and from the visit and watch over the visit. It saves the Adams County Juvenile Detention Facility money.
•   It removes any opportunity for contraband (drugs) to enter the facility.
•   It can become a profit center for the facility, given that the revenue generated by visits is shared with the jail.
•   While inmates prefer to see family and friends in person, video visitation allows them to visit with them more often, and on a whim.
•   Video visitation gives the inmates and their visitors the feeling of more privacy.

Video visitation from the perspective of the visitor allows them to visit from their home, their car, at work, and even allows them to take their device to a family or religious gathering. It allows them to give their inmate the feeling of belonging and not being forgotten.

Video visitation can take place on a computer, a tablet or a phone.

Video visitation saves time. Instead of spending hours driving to the jail, checking in, filling out paperwork, potentially being searched, waiting, and then having a 15–30-minute visit, if it isn’t cancelled at the last minute, the visit can be done from anywhere during a short break in the visitor’s day.

If the visitor does not have access to a phone or computer, they can make an appointment ahead of time and use terminals in the lobby of the jail.

You must also be on the inmate's approved list, even for a video visit.
