Can I Send Documents During a Video Visit at Garden State Youth C.F.? Fax Rules and Limitations
Want to get paperwork to someone during a video visit? Garden State Youth Correctional Facility's videoconferencing setup includes a fax machine for incoming documents—but it only works one way.
Yes, the videoconferencing system at Garden State Youth Correctional Facility includes a fax machine. The fax line lets inmates receive documents sent directly to them during a session.
Timing matters. Videoconferencing - and fax reception - runs Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Weekends and holidays are off. Send something outside that window, and it may not arrive when you expect.
Not allowed: Inmates are not permitted to send fax transmissions out to outside agency representatives, including during a videoconference.
Planning to fax paperwork during a scheduled videoconference? The VTC Request Form asks agencies to mark whether they'll be faxing documents ("FAX Yes/No"). Just don't wait until the last minute - videoconference requests must be faxed to the institution's coordinator at least 48 hours in advance, excluding weekends and holidays.
- Get the inmate staged early - The videoconferencing post officer is responsible for ensuring the correct inmate is in the VTC waiting area at least 10 minutes before the scheduled conference.
- Confirm the fax is ready to receive - That same officer must make sure the videoconferencing system and the facsimile machine are on and ready to receive incoming calls.
