Why just talk, when you can talk and see!
Remote video visits are an affordable, easy and instant way to connect with your incarcerated friend or loved one.
Video visits are like Facetime or video calls where you use your personal computer to directly chat with an inmate within their housing unit.
IMPORTANT: To conduct a video visit from home, you need a personal computer, an internet connection, a web camera, a microphone, and Google Chrome as your browser.
