Video visits & JailATM communications at Clarke County Jail: costs, schedule, email, and attorney visits
Clarke County Jail handles all public visits through JailATM video calls. You won't find in-person visits at the lobby.
Attorneys and other professionals can visit in person at the facility - those visits are handled separately from the public video system.
For friends and family, visiting means scheduling a video call through JailATM. The jail doesn't allow walk-in public visits - video is the only option.
Note: Your person must clear intake before they can receive visitors. Processing can take up to 24 hours after booking.
Scheduled video visits run 15 minutes and cost $3.75.
Unscheduled visits cost $0.25 per minute - useful for a quick check-in when you can't commit to a full scheduled block.
- ✓ 9:00–11:00 a.m.
- ✓ 1:00–4:00 p.m.

The jail uses JailATM for email too. Inmates pay $0.50 per email, with a collect email option also available.
You can send emails through JailATM for $0.50 each.
Attorney and professional visits work differently. These happen in person at the facility, not through the JailATM video system.
- Plan ahead - attorneys need to make special arrangements at least 24 hours in advance.
- Request the visit through the facility’s process - build in that lead time so the visit can be scheduled and approved.
Note: The jail's visitation page says public visits are video-only through JailATM, but a separate schedule for Athens-Clarke County Correctional Institution lists different hours. Double-check the current rules on the jail's official site and in JailATM before planning your visit.
- ✓ Check the jail’s current visitation information to confirm public visits are still video-only.
- ✓ Log into JailATM and look at the available visit times for the person you want to visit.
- ✓ If anything doesn’t match what you’re seeing online, call the facility to confirm before you travel or take time off work.
