Overview

Harris County Jail offers remote video visits in 20-minute sessions. Off-site hours run Monday–Friday from 4–9 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m.–9 p.m., at $5.99 per session.

Inmates can't receive incoming calls, but they can place collect calls to permitted numbers through the vendor system.

Be aware that calls may be recorded or monitored, and attempted transfers or conference calls will disconnect the line.
