Glades County Detainee Phones & Video Visitation

Telmate provides both the detainee telephone and video visitation system for Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven, Florida.

If you wish to contact a detainee, your options are to call and leave the detainee a voicemail (up to 3 minutes), write a letter, visit the detainee during official visitation hours at the facility, or use remote video visitation.

Below is information about communicating with an detainees at this facility, and information about deposits funds.

Phone Calls

To call you, a detainee simply dials your phone number. When receiving a call, you should first hear an announcement from an automated operating, such as “You are receiving a call from [detainee name], a detainee at Glades County. Press one (1) to accept.”
If the detainee has no calling funds, and is calling you for the first time, the call will be free for a brief period of time (often less than a minute). This is to allow the detainee to inform you of where he or she is, and to explain how calls work from this facility. After this short call, the detainee will be placed on hold and you will be presented to opportunity to:

  1. Pay (via credit card) to continue the current call
  2. Deposit funds for the detainee to continue your call and, if there is money remaining, the detainee may use the funds to make future calls to any number.
  3. Deposit funds to your own phone number to continue your call and, if there is money remaining, the detainee may use the funds to call your number in the future, but the funds will not be available for calling other numbers.
