Garland County Detention

Garland County Detention uses a third-party video visitation system, so you'll need a vendor account before you can arrange a visit. Start by setting up your account through Smart.JailMail.com (Smart Communications), then accept the connection request before trying to schedule. Both on-site kiosk visits and remote video visits are appointment-only and must be booked at least 24 hours in advance through the vendor. Remote visits come with a vendor charge, so check the vendor website for current fees. To avoid delays, confirm the inmate's housing location first. Then follow the vendor steps to set up and approve the connection before picking an available time slot.

Garland County Detention uses a vendor-based communication system. Before scheduling an on-site or video visit, you'll need to create an account with the facility's approved video visitation vendor. All visits are appointment-only and must be booked through the vendor at least 24 hours in advance. Only a few small items can be shown during a visit: eyeglasses, false teeth, pictures, and schoolwork. Staff must clear each item before it's shown through the glass or on the video screen. Conduct rules are strictly enforced. Do not make gang signs, strike the video screen, act loud or disorderly, or make threatening statements or gestures. For phone calls, messaging, and video access, set up and fund your vendor account and make sure you have a compatible device based on the vendor's requirements.

Sending money to someone at Garland County Detention starts with picking the deposit method that works best for you: an online payment portal, an in-person kiosk or lobby window, a mailed money order, or the facility's commissary or vendor website. Deposits typically go into the inmate's commissary or resident account for authorized purchases like food and hygiene items. Some facilities may also apply funds toward outstanding debts or fees. Before you begin, gather the inmate's state and facility name plus either their booking or ID number or full name. Credit and debit cards are commonly accepted through portals and kiosks, while money orders are often accepted by mail or in person. Follow the vendor or facility instructions carefully, including any setup steps and fees.
