Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Robeson County Jail uses SmartInmate by Smart Communications for messaging and other communication between inmates and their families. Almost everything happens through the vendor's app or website, not at the jail itself: creating your account, adding funds, sending messages, and starting video visits. To schedule a video visit, go through SmartJailMail. Bookings are handled on the vendor portal, not through jail staff. Before you can call, message, or start a video session, you'll need to set up your account with SmartInmate and complete any verification or approval steps the system requires. Funding for paid features is typically added through the same portal.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
