How to Contact an Inmate at Seminole County Jail, FL (FL)

Seminole County Jail uses video visitation. For onsite visits, you'll go to the facility's main entrance at Control 1 (Visitation Room). Onsite video visits are free for both you and the inmate. Remote (off-site) video visits are also available, though they come with a small fee. If you live far away or can't make it to the jail, remote video might be your best bet. Just plan for the added cost.

Each inmate can have two 30-minute onsite video visits per day, with a maximum of four onsite visits per week (2 total hours). Only one adult visitor is allowed per scheduled onsite visit. Bringing kids? A parent or guardian must accompany anyone under 18. The scheduled visitor can bring up to two children, and the jail requires adult supervision before, during, and after the visit.

You can add funds to an inmate's account several ways: online through AccessCorrections.com, by phone at 1-866-345-1884, at lobby kiosks (cash or cards), or by mail. For mail deposits, send a money order with a completed Money Order Deposit Form to: Secure Deposits – Seminole County, PO BOX 12486, St Louis, Missouri 63132.
