  • The Coffee County Jail offers inmates the opportunity to have virtual (video) visits with friends and family members.

    Visitation is a privilege. Visiting privileges may be suspended or revoked as a disciplinary measure or when the safety and security of the facility deems it necessary.  Visitation will be open 24/7 however visits will be limited to fifteen (15) minutes in length. Inmates are limited to three visitors per week, provided they are approved in the system. All visits are recorded and subject to monitoring by staff. Any inappropriate behavior by either the inmate or visitor may be grounds for the visit to be terminated.

     

    Video visitation is initiated by the inmate to those whom have created an account at JAILATM.com or have downloaded the mobile app and are currently logged onto the system. JAILATM charges a fee for such remote visitation. Visitors who would like to have a video visit without paying a fee may do so by coming to the jail and using a visitation kiosk in the jail lobby. Such on-site visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance via JAILATM.com or the JAILATM app. (Note: the inmate must accept the requested time in order for the visit to be scheduled. It is the inmate’s responsibility to ensure that such visit will occur during the inmate’s normally scheduled time out of cell.)
