How to send messages, photos, and packages
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.
