How to send messages, photos, and packages
Garfield County Jail offers video visitation through GettingOut, available online or through the mobile app. Create a GettingOut account at gettingout.com and pay any vendor fees before booking a visit. Not everyone in custody participates in regular video visitation windows, so the inmate is responsible for letting you know what times work and handling scheduling. Phone calls work differently: inmates cannot receive incoming calls. They can place outgoing calls from housing-unit phones using prepaid accounts or collect calls, and calls may be monitored and recorded. Complete the vendor setup steps and any visitor approval steps required by the jail before trying to schedule a video visit. If you plan to accept calls or add funds, review the jail's phone vendor options and funding process.
