Choosing between remote and in-person? The limits are different. Inmates can have two one-hour on-site visits per week, with the visiting week running Sunday through Saturday. Remote video visits aren't capped the same way - making them a solid backup when you've already used up your in-person visits for the week.
Good to know: There is no weekly limit on the number of Remote Video Visits.
