How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Chatham County Jail posts unit-specific in-person video visitation schedules, so start by checking the schedule for your loved one's housing unit. Unit 1, for example, has visits on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. You'll generally need to schedule ahead and get approved as a visitor—rules vary by unit. At-home video visits are also available. You'll need an internet connection, a device with a webcam or front-facing camera, and a headset. On a phone? Stay in one spot during the session for the best connection. Remote video visits run through a third-party vendor and cost money—one vendor lists 11 cents per minute, or $2.20 for 20 minutes. Inmates also use in-unit kiosks and tablets for announcements, commissary, and some visit-related features.
