How to Set Up Remote Video Visits at Saline County Jail (Smart Communications)
Setting up a remote video visit at Saline County Jail is straightforward once you know the steps and time windows. Here's everything you need to schedule a visit that goes through the first time.
Saline County Jail uses Smart Communications for remote video visitation. You'll create your visitor account through SmartInmate, which handles both scheduling and the actual video calls. All visits at this facility are conducted by video, so getting set up on the platform is your first step.
- Go to SmartInmate and start your account: Saline County Jail directs visitors to SmartInmate as the starting point for remote video visits through Smart Communications.
- Follow the prompts to finish setup: Once your account is created, you’ll use SmartInmate to schedule and join your remote video sessions.
Reminder: Visitors need acceptable photo identification (for example, a driver’s license, military ID, or other verifiable picture ID). If a visitor is under 18, they must be accompanied by an adult.
Once your account is ready, schedule your remote visit within the jail's posted hours. Remote visitation is available Sunday through Saturday in three daily blocks: 9AM to 11AM, 1PM to 5PM, and 7PM to 10PM. Trying to book outside these windows usually leads to availability issues. Stick to the posted blocks for the smoothest experience.
Note: The jail lists remote visits as unlimited, unless they interfere with other inmates' visitation access.
Onsite visitation hours are different. In-person visits run Monday through Friday, 1PM to 5PM and 7PM to 10PM.
The jail sets different limits for onsite versus remote visits. Inmates can have two onsite visits per week. Remote visits are listed as unlimited, but there's a catch: they can be restricted if they interfere with other inmates' visitation access. You may be able to schedule remote visits frequently, but availability depends on the jail balancing access fairly across housing units.
Before your first session, call Saline County Jail at (785) 826-6502 to confirm current details and rules. Visitation policies can change, and a quick phone call can save you from a last-minute surprise.
Your entire visit will happen by video. Since remote visits are listed as unlimited (unless they conflict with other inmates' access), your session could be affected by scheduling conflicts. If the time slot you want isn't available, try a different block within the posted remote visitation hours.
Have acceptable photo ID ready for your visit (a driver's license, military ID, or other verifiable picture ID works). Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
