How Video Visits Work at Benton County Jail: On‑Site vs. Remote

Benton County Jail is video-only - no in-person visits. You'll connect through a screen, either at a kiosk inside the jail or remotely from your own device. People in custody get two 15-minute visits per week, so plan ahead and pick the option that works best for you.

An on-site video visit means you go to the jail and use their equipment for the call. It's still a video screen, not face-to-face. This works well if your home internet is unreliable or you'd rather not deal with tech issues on your end.

• ✓ On-site video visits (general population): Monday–Friday
• ✓ Time blocks: 08:00–10:15, 12:00–13:15, and 18:00–19:15
• ✓ Length and frequency: Two visits per week, 15 minutes each

Remote video visits let you connect from your own device - no trip to the jail required. Benton County Jail offers them seven days a week, but you'll pay for them yourself. Confirm the cost before you book.

Both options share the same time blocks: 08:00–10:15, 12:00–13:15, and 18:00–19:15. The difference? Remote visits are available seven days a week. On-site visits for general population are weekdays only.

Choice Checklist

• ✓ If you can only visit on weekends: Remote visits are allowed seven days a week, while on-site general population visits are Monday–Friday.
• ✓ If you want to avoid paying a remote-visit fee: Remote visits are at the visitor’s expense.
• ✓ If you’re planning around a workday: On-site general population time blocks are 08:00–10:15, 12:00–13:15, and 18:00–19:15 (Monday–Friday), and remote visits run in those same blocks.

Visits are short - 15 minutes each. People in custody can have two per week total, whether on-site or remote. That limit covers all video visits combined, so plan your conversations accordingly.

Before you commit to a visit, check the current Benton County Jail visitation information for details the schedule doesn't cover - how to book, which video provider they use, and what remote visits cost. Confirming these upfront saves you a wasted trip or a surprise charge.

1. Confirm the visit type you want - decide whether you’re aiming for on-site at the jail or remote from home.
2. Check the current schedule blocks - use the listed time windows (08:00–10:15, 12:00–13:15, 18:00–19:15) to narrow down what works.
3. Verify the booking method and any remote fees before scheduling - make sure you know the exact steps and cost so there are no surprises.
4. Have a backup time in mind - with only two 15-minute visits per week, it helps to plan ahead if your first choice isn’t available.
