How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Berrien County Jail posts visitation hours for both weekdays and weekends, covering in-person and video visits. Video visits are scheduled through the GTL portal—you'll need to create an account first. One free internet visit per week is included; additional visits cost $10 per 20-minute session, paid by the visitor. Each inmate can receive up to two visits per day and ten per week. Up to three visitors can join a single visit, but at least one must be an adult, and you must be 18 to schedule. Visits are monitored, and inappropriate behavior can end your session early (you may still be charged). Also worth noting: Michigan law prohibits conducting video visits while driving, with suspensions possible for certain offenses.
