The Real Cost of Staying Connected: Phone Calls, Video Visits, and Voicemails at Bob Wiley

Video visits at Bob Wiley run daily from 7:45 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Pacific Time, with the first session starting at 7:45 a.m. That's a much wider window than in-person visits, which are only available Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Each 30-minute video visit costs $7.50. The flat rate makes it simple to plan your weekly budget if you're scheduling multiple sessions.

Refunds & cancellations: Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled start time - otherwise you'll be marked as a no-show. Visits cut short for inappropriate behavior, dress code violations, or other policy issues aren't refunded. If the facility cancels on their end, you'll get a full refund (unless the cancellation was due to a policy violation on your part).

Inmates at Bob Wiley can't receive incoming phone calls. In emergencies, the facility may take a message - but whether it gets delivered is up to the Sergeant's discretion.
