Clarke County Jail

Visiting someone at Clarke County Jail happens through video on JailATM, not at the jail lobby. To get started, create an account at JailATM.com and schedule a session during available windows: 9 to 11 a.m., 1 to 4 p.m., or 6 to 9 p.m. Scheduled 15-minute video visits cost $3.75, while unscheduled visits run $0.25 per minute. You must be pre-approved on the inmate's visitation list and show a valid picture ID at check-in. The jail also lists an in-person Sunday visiting window (8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) and the same hours on county holidays, so confirm current practice before you go. Dress modestly, follow conduct rules, and book early.

Clarke County Jail handles communication through JailATM. You can send electronic messages to someone in the jail for $0.50 per message. All video visitation is done online through JailATM rather than in-person lobby visits. Before you can send messages or book a video session, create a JailATM account and complete any required verification. Video visit hours and pricing are listed inside the JailATM system, and different visit types have different fees (including per-visit or per-minute charges). For an at-home video visit, make sure your JailATM account is ready and that you have a webcam or camera-equipped device plus a stable internet connection.

Clarke County Jail accepts mailed money orders for inmate accounts. Don't mail cash, personal checks, or payroll checks, and don't bring a money order to the jail in person. Mail money orders directly to the jail's Business Office at the Lexington Road address, including the inmate's full name and ID number so it can be credited without delays. You can also add funds using the Smart Deposit kiosk in the front lobby. A service fee applies, and you'll receive a receipt. Inmate cash accounts are capped at $200.00, and deposits aren't accepted once the balance reaches that amount. For commissary that week, money must arrive by Tuesday at 7:00 PM.
