Hendry County Jail, FL

Visiting someone at Hendry County Jail takes some planning. Rules and schedules may differ from other facilities, so start by checking the jail's official visitor materials or inmate handbook. In many jails, the inmate must add you to an approved visitor list, and you may need to complete a visitor application—wait for approval before traveling. If Hendry County Jail supports the GettingOut Visits app, you can video visit from a mobile device without needing a computer. The app offers a "Visit Now" option so you don't always have to schedule ahead, and you're billed only for the actual length of the visit. Confirm support and exact application, approval, and scheduling rules with the jail's official information.

Hendry County Jail offers remote video visits through the GettingOut Visits app, letting you connect from a mobile device without needing a computer. The app includes a Visit Now feature for on-demand visits—no scheduling required. You're billed only for the actual duration of the connection rather than a flat block of time. Think of it like Skype or FaceTime: you join from a home computer or Android/iOS device while the person in custody uses a wireless tablet. GettingOut Visits is listed as free in app stores, with Telmate, LLC as the vendor. Platform requirements include iOS 16.0 or later.

Start with the right contact to get help quickly. Hendry County Jail lists a package vendor customer service number—1-800-546-6283—for questions about packages, commissary accounts, billing, and other vendor-related issues. For detainee status, booking information, and routine facility questions, check the jail's official web page and use the facility front desk or non-emergency phone line listed there. Records and court-related requests typically go through the records office or formal request channels shown on the facility page. For medical or protected-health record requests, expect to provide identity verification and a signed Release of Information (ROI). For life-threatening emergencies, threats to public safety, or an escape, contact local emergency services or the appropriate state/law-enforcement reporting channels.
