On-Site vs. Off-Site Video Visits: What's the Difference at Stark County Jail?

Both options let you see and talk with someone at Stark County Jail, but they work differently. The biggest differences come down to scheduling windows and how the weekly on-site visit limit applies.

At Stark County Jail, an "off-site" video visit means you connect remotely instead of coming to the building. Off-site video visitation is available Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 8:00pm.

An "on-site" visit means you physically go to the jail and use their video visitation setup there. On-site visiting hours run Tuesday through Friday, excluding holidays. Each inmate gets one 30-minute on-site visit per week, and only two visitors are allowed per visit (minors count toward that limit).

Note: All visits need to be scheduled through ICSolutions.com by selecting an available day and time.

On-site visiting hours at Stark County Jail run Tuesday through Friday (excluding holidays), from 8:00am to 11:00am and 12:00pm to 4:00pm. If you're juggling work, school, or childcare, those are the windows you have to work with.

Off-site video visitation runs Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 8:00pm. That wider window makes it much easier to find a time that works without having to drive to the jail.

The weekly limit only applies to on-site visits: one 30-minute session per inmate per week. Off-site video visits are separate and do not count against that on-site slot.

Tip: Want more face time beyond the single on-site visit? Use off-site visits. They don't eat into the on-site weekly allotment. Save your on-site slot for when you know you can make the trip, and schedule it through ICSolutions.com.

If flexibility matters most, off-site video visits are the better bet. They're available Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 8:00pm. On-site visits have a tighter schedule (Tuesday through Friday, excluding holidays, with morning and afternoon blocks) and are capped at one 30-minute visit per week per inmate. That means you'll need to plan more carefully to make the most of your on-site time.

  • ✓ If you are visiting on-site, keep your group to two visitors total (including minors)
  • ✓ Schedule your visit through ICSolutions.com and choose an available day and time

Key takeaway: Book on-site visits through ICSolutions.com, and remember that off-site visits don't count against the one permitted on-site visit per week.
