Larimer County Detention Center

Larimer County Detention Center uses video visitation only, and the inmate has to initiate the request—you can't schedule it yourself. Most smartphones or an internet-connected PC with a webcam and microphone will work, but check the facility page for the exact provider and setup steps. Sessions may be monitored and recorded. If staff spot rule violations during or after a visit, the inmate could lose visitation privileges. Prohibited content includes gang symbols, vulgar language or images, nudity, and sexually explicit activity. Staff can deny, change, or cancel visits at their discretion, so confirm scheduling and approval requirements before your session.

Larimer County Detention Center uses ViaPath Technologies (formerly GTL) for inmate communication. Head to gettingout.com for communication tools and account access. Phone calls go through ConnectNetwork's AdvancePay prepaid service. One key rule: only the phone number registered to your AdvancePay account can receive calls funded by that account. You control whether to accept or reject calls, and charges deduct immediately. If the inmate is released or you close the account, refunds are available. AdvancePay offers AutoReload and low-balance notifications, and facility-set call rates appear inside your ConnectNetwork/AdvancePay account. Customer service details—including phone numbers and mailing address—are listed in the AdvancePay materials. Note that Friends and Family AdvancePay accounts become inactive and may be forfeited after 180 consecutive days without activity.

Sending mail to someone at Larimer County Detention Center works differently than most jails. Incoming personal mail gets scanned, and the inmate receives a digital copy on their facility tablet—not the original paper letter. Send physical mail to the P.O. Box in Phoenix, MD, and include the inmate's full name with "BN#" followed by their booking number on the address line. Attorney-client privileged mail is handled separately: it's exempt from routine digital scanning and should go to the facility's physical Fort Collins address to preserve privilege. Staff inspect mail for contraband, so don't send cash or other prohibited items.

You have several options for adding money to an inmate's account—online portals, phone services, or in-person kiosks. Confirm the exact vendor or method Larimer County Detention Center accepts before sending funds. If you mail a check or money order, write your 10-digit telephone number on it (this serves as the account number) and plan for 7–10 business days processing time. The facility uses ViaPath Technologies (formerly GTL), and gettingout.com handles account setup, communication tools, and related services. For phone-based accounts like AdvancePay, rates and fees are set by the facility and shown in your ConnectNetwork account. You can accept or reject calls, charges deduct immediately, and refunds may be available in certain situations. Deposits can take a day or more to post, and some vendors offer low-balance alerts or AutoReload.
