How to Send Money to Garland County Detention (AR)

Looking to support someone at Garland County Detention? The facility's published visitor information sheets focus primarily on video visitation, not money transfers. Here's how the video visit setup works: your loved one first creates a visitation account at Smart.JailMail.com. Once that's done, they send you a connection request. You approve it, and then they can start scheduling visits.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Have your loved one set up their visitation account at Smart.JailMail.com
• ✓ Ask them to send you a connection request after their account is established
• ✓ Approve the connection request (they cannot schedule until you do)
• ✓ Schedule the visit through the facility’s video visitation vendor
• ✓ If you are scheduling an on-site visit, do it at least 24 hours in advance
• ✓ If you are scheduling an off-site (remote) visit, expect the vendor to charge a fee listed by the vendor

Since the available facility guidance covers video visitation rather than money transfers, you'll want to confirm your exact options for sending money by contacting the detention center or its vendors directly. For visitation, verify that Smart.JailMail.com is the required platform for setting up your connection. Make sure you understand who handles each step: the inmate creates the account and sends the request, then you approve it before anyone can schedule a visit. Also confirm the scheduling rules, including the 24-hour advance booking requirement for on-site visits and any exceptions or cut-off times. Planning to visit remotely? Check the vendor's current pricing before you book. The facility notes that off-site visits carry a charge set by the vendor, and that amount can change over time.
