How to Visit Cherokee County Adult Detention Center (SC)
Cherokee County Adult Detention Center uses video visitation, and the rules are specific. The main thing to know: on-site visits require scheduling at least one day ahead.
On-site video visits must be scheduled one day in advance. Show up hoping to get in same-day and you'll likely be turned away. Plan for that extra day.
On-site visits are capped at 30 minutes, with a maximum of two visitors at the terminal. Each inmate gets one on-site visit per day, and only on their assigned visitation day.
Remote visits offer more flexibility. You can book same-day (up to one hour before the start time) or schedule up to three weeks out. Remote visitation runs seven days a week during specific time blocks posted by the facility. Each inmate can have three remote visits per day, and each session lasts 15 minutes.
Mail note: Personal inmate mail is processed through a central JailATM.com facility where it is opened, scanned, and emailed to the inmate. Original physical mail is discarded within 60 days of receipt.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Schedule the on-site video visit at least one day in advance.
- ✓ Plan around the 30-minute limit per on-site visit.
- ✓ Keep the group small. No more than two visitors are permitted per terminal.
- ✓ Confirm the inmate’s assigned visitation day and remember the limit is one on-site visit per inmate per assigned visitation day.
- ✓ Schedule remote (off-site) visitation the same day (up to one hour before the start time) or book up to three weeks in advance.
- ✓ Choose an available slot from the facility’s seven-days-a-week time blocks (standard and confidential blocks are listed by the facility).
- ✓ Plan for the limits: each inmate may have three remote visits per day, and each visit is 15 minutes.
- Send personal mail knowing it will be digitized. Mail is opened and scanned at a central JailATM.com processing facility, then delivered electronically to the inmate.
- Assume you will not get originals back. After scanning, originals are discarded within 60 days of receipt.
- Check current content rules before mailing anything. Policies can restrict what can be included, so verify any up-to-date limits with the detention center before you send photos, drawings, or other enclosures.
Before finalizing travel plans, confirm the current scheduling rules. On-site visits require one day advance booking. Remote visits can be scheduled same-day (up to one hour before) or up to three weeks ahead. Check the facility's posted time blocks for remote visits too, since hours can change.
Verify the limits so you know what to expect. On-site visits run 30 minutes max, allow two visitors per terminal, and inmates get one per day on their assigned day. For remote visits, confirm the daily cap (three per inmate) and session length (15 minutes each). This helps you coordinate who's joining and how to split time.
Mail check: Confirm the facility’s current mail-handling process (JailATM.com scanning, how delivery works, and when originals are destroyed) and ask about any prohibited items before you send anything.
