Video Visits at Cherokee County Adult Detention Center: On‑Site vs Remote — how they differ
Cherokee County Adult Detention Center offers two ways to video visit: on-site at the Visitation Center, or remote from home using your own device. Which works better depends on cost, scheduling flexibility, and whether your tech setup can handle a video call.
The facility offers both on-site and remote video visits. On-site visits use video stations at the Visitation Center. Remote visits happen over the internet from wherever you are - your home, a friend's place, or anywhere with a solid connection.
Planning to visit on-site? You'll need to schedule at least one day ahead. This option works best when you can plan in advance rather than trying to grab a last-minute slot.
On-site visits are capped at 30 minutes. If you have a lot to discuss, prioritize the important stuff so you're not rushing when time runs out.
- ✓ On-site video visitation is available at no cost.
- ✓ No more than two visitors are permitted at each on-site video visitation terminal.
Remote visits offer more flexibility. You can book same-day (at least one hour before start time) or schedule up to three weeks out - helpful if you're juggling work, childcare, or travel.
- ✓ Each inmate is allowed three remote visits per day.
- ✓ Each remote visit is 15 minutes long.
Remote visits come with a fee. Standard visits cost $6.00 each. Approved confidential visitors (like attorneys) pay $7.00 per visit.
- ✓ Use a computer with a webcam, microphone, and speakers, or an Apple or Android mobile device.
- ✓ Plan on a strong, stable residential Wi‑Fi connection for best results.
Tight budget? On-site is the way to go - remote visits charge $6 per session ($7 for approved confidential visitors). Need convenience? Remote works better, especially if getting to the Visitation Center is a hassle. Tech is the other deciding factor. Remote visits require a computer with webcam, mic, and speakers - or an Apple/Android phone or tablet - plus reliable Wi‑Fi. If your internet drops or your setup is shaky, on-site visits are less stressful since you're using the facility's equipment.
- ✓ Choose on-site if you can plan ahead: on-site visits must be scheduled one day in advance.
- ✓ Choose remote if you need flexibility: remote visits can be scheduled the same day up to one hour before start time, or up to three weeks in advance.
Note: Except for attorneys and other approved confidential visitors, all video visits (on-site and remote) are monitored and recorded. If you need a confidential visit, you must obtain confidential status through iWebVisit.
