How to Schedule a Video Visit at Gibson County Jail (On‑Site and From Home)
Scheduling a video visit at Gibson County Jail is straightforward once you know which type you want. Here are your options, the available time windows, and how to book either an on-site visit at the jail or an at-home visit online.
Gibson County Jail uses a Video Visitation System for all friends and family visits. Every visit happens by video, whether you come to the jail and use a public terminal or connect from your own home.
For an on-site visit, you use a terminal in the public visitation room inside the sheriff's office lobby. The inmate connects from a terminal in their housing area. You can schedule these visits directly at the jail using the public visitation terminal.
At-home visits let you schedule online and connect from your own computer. At Gibson County Jail, remote visits are unlimited each week and cost $0.40 per minute.
When Allowed
- ✓ Wednesday: 6–8pm
- ✓ Saturday: 8–11am and 1–4pm
- ✓ Sunday: 8–11am and 1–4pm
At-home visits are available every day from 8am to 9pm, except during meal times. If you don't see the time slot you want, meal-time blocks are usually the reason.
Plan ahead: Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. You can't just show up and expect an open terminal.
On-site visits are limited: each inmate gets one 15-minute visit per week. Remote visits work differently. Inmates can receive unlimited at-home visits each week.
- Go to the public visitation area terminal. On-site visits can be scheduled using a video terminal in the public visitation area.
- Pick an available on-site time. Choose a slot during the on-site public visitation hours.
- Confirm your scheduled visit. Make sure the visit is set for a time that is at least 24 hours away.
Timing tip: Arrive 10 minutes early so you can check in and get seated at your assigned terminal before your visit starts.
During an on-site visit, you sit at a terminal in the public visitation room in the sheriff's office lobby. The inmate connects from a terminal in their housing area. Even though you're physically at the jail, you're still visiting by video.
