How to Contact an Inmate at Oconee County Detention Center (SC)

Oconee County Detention Center uses Encartele for both visitation and phone services. This matters because scheduling visits and funding communication all run through Encartele's system. If you come across outdated instructions or a different provider name, confirm the current setup directly with the facility before putting money on an account or trying to schedule time.

Remote visits work on common devices: laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Each session lasts 30 minutes, so find a quiet spot with a reliable internet connection and block off that half-hour. Scheduling hours, available time slots, and whether exceptions to the 30-minute length exist aren't spelled out in the available information. Confirm those details before planning your day around a visit.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Confirm that Encartele is the current provider for visitation and phone services at this facility.
• ✓ Use a compatible device for remote visits (laptop, smartphone, or tablet).
• ✓ Plan your remote visit around a 30-minute session length.

According to the available policy information, there's no stated limit on how many remote visits you can pay for and schedule with an inmate per week. That said, this only covers the visitor's ability to book and pay. Other restrictions (like facility approval requirements or practical scheduling limits) may still apply. Confirm any additional rules so you know how often you can actually connect.

1. Call the facility to confirm the provider: Ask whether Encartele is currently used for both visitation and phone services.
2. Get the correct setup instructions: Once Encartele is confirmed, ask where to go for account creation, login help, and support.
3. Ask about facility-specific requirements: Confirm any rules that affect remote visits, like approved devices, required apps/software, or identity verification steps.

1. Confirm the remote visit length: Verify that remote visits are scheduled in 30-minute sessions and ask whether shorter or longer slots are ever offered.
2. Double-check any real-world limits: Even though there is no stated weekly limit on the number of paid remote visits a visitor can schedule, ask whether there are other caps or scheduling constraints.
3. Verify costs and logistics before paying: Ask about fees, payment methods, scheduling windows, and the technical requirements you will need to complete a call without interruptions.
