How Attorneys Get Confidential Video Visits at Cherokee County Jail
Need to speak with a client privately by video? Get approved as a confidential visitor before scheduling anything. Here's how the process works at Cherokee County Jail.
Remote video visits at Cherokee County Jail are monitored and recorded by default. The exception: attorneys and other visitors approved for confidential status. If you're discussing legal strategy or anything you expect to stay private, that approval is essential. Without it, your visit is treated like any other video call.
Remote visits are limited, so plan ahead. Each inmate gets three off-site visits per day, and each one lasts just 15 minutes. When you're handling time-sensitive legal issues, those short windows make it critical to have confidential status locked in before you start booking.
- Go to iWebVisit and create your account - you’ll need an iWebVisit.com account before you can request confidential status.
- Locate the “Confidential Visitor Information” area - once you’re logged in, look for the facility’s Confidential Visitor Information tab.
- Hold off on scheduling for now - wait until you’ve followed the confidential visitor process and your status is approved before you book a visit you need to be private.
Request Confidential Status
- ✓ Open the Confidential Visitor Information tab in your iWebVisit account and follow the instructions exactly
- ✓ Provide any requested documentation or verification details through the iWebVisit process
- ✓ Wait for approval of confidential status before scheduling a visit you expect to be private
- ✓ If you need confidentiality for professional reasons (not social visiting), make sure you’re selecting the confidential/attorney pathway - not a standard visitor setup
Warning: Schedule a video visit before your confidential status is approved, and it will be recorded. For legal conversations, wait until your status is active before booking.
Remote video visits are paid per session. Standard visitors pay $6.00, while approved confidential visitors (including attorneys) pay $7.00. Not sure how payment works for your account? Check the setup and payment screens in iWebVisit before you schedule.
- ✓ Use a computer with a webcam, microphone, and speakers, or an Apple/Android mobile device
- ✓ Connect to a strong, stable internet signal (residential Wi‑Fi is usually the smoothest option)
- ✓ Avoid using mobile data for visits, since the service specifically cautions against it
- ✓ Test your camera and audio before the appointment so you don’t waste part of a 15‑minute session on troubleshooting
