Understanding Video Visits at Broome County: tablets, rates, and rule enforcement
Can't make it to an in-person visit? Broome County offers tablet-based video visits as an alternative. Here's how they work, where to find current details, and what happens if rules get broken.
Video visits at Broome County work differently than contact visits. The incarcerated person purchases them through the facility's inmate tablet system - so scheduling and access happen through that tablet setup, not the walk-in visiting room.
The facility directs families to the GettingOut platform (gettingout.com) for tablet communications. Start there for account setup and basic information about tablet-based visits.
Wondering what a video visit costs? The jail doesn't set the rates - the tablet provider does. Check the provider's website for current pricing.
Next step: For the latest instructions on arranging tablet video visits, ask the housing unit officer. Broome County lists them as the go-to source for this information.
Video visits are still visits - rules apply. If someone violates visitation rules during a video call, the facility can suspend video visit privileges. How long depends on the violation.
