How Attorneys Can Set Up Private, Unrecorded Video Visits at Chatham County Jail

Need a private attorney-client video visit at Chatham County Jail? You'll first need to request "privileged user" status in JailATM. That approval transforms a standard video visit into an encrypted, unrecorded, unmonitored attorney session.

Standard video visits at Chatham County Jail are treated like regular communications. Inmates pay a per-minute fee, and the facility reviews and records non-privileged calls. Attorney visits work differently, but only after you're approved as a privileged user in JailATM. With that status in place, your attorney video visits are encrypted and won't be recorded or monitored. This is what protects attorney-client privacy for video visits at this facility.

Tip: Get privileged-user approval before relying on video for legal consults. Once approved, your JailATM attorney video visits are encrypted and won't be recorded or monitored.

  1. Create your JailATM account. You need an active JailATM account before you can submit a privileged-user request for Chatham County.
  2. Submit the Privileged User Request for the correct facility. In JailATM, go to Settings, then Advanced, then Privileged User Request. In the facility dropdown, select “Chatham Attorney, GA.”

Note: The facility dropdown selection matters. For attorney access at this jail, choose “Chatham Attorney, GA.”

Once your request is approved, attorney video visits through JailATM at Chatham County Jail are encrypted and won't be recorded or monitored. If privacy is the goal, this approval is the critical step. It changes how the system handles your visits.
