How to Send Non‑Confidential Messages to Someone at Stewart Using the Facility Tablets
Want to message someone at Stewart Detention Center? The facility provides tablets for detainees, and GettingOut handles the messaging platform for families.
Stewart Detention Center gives detainees access to tablets. To send non‑confidential messages through those tablets, head to GettingOut - Stewart points families there for setup instructions and next steps.
These tablet messages are non‑confidential. They work great for everyday updates - sharing family news, sending encouragement, staying connected. But don't use them for anything private or legally privileged. For confidential attorney–client communication, use the legal channel described below instead.
Attorneys (or those coordinating legal communication) can use Stewart's VAV program - virtual attorney visits. These sessions run on Zoom, WebEx, or Microsoft Teams and provide a confidential way to talk when an in‑person meeting isn't possible.
Important: VAV sessions are limited to legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters. Family or friends are not permitted to participate.
VAV is helpful, but it doesn't replace in‑person visits. If your situation requires a face-to-face legal meeting, plan to use that option in addition to - or instead of - virtual sessions.
