Ward County Jail, ND

Video visitation at Ward County Jail runs through Turnkey Corrections, with separate schedules for adults and juveniles. Adult detention video visits are available daily in two blocks: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Juvenile video visitation includes lobby hours from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday (closed on holidays), plus off-site video hours from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Online and off-site video visits require pre-approval. Adults can complete this through the facility kiosk or inmatecanteen.com. Before your first session, you'll need to complete the visitor application, set up any required account and ID photos, then schedule your visit.

All communication at Ward County Detention Center is monitored, including phone calls, voicemail, and written correspondence. Juveniles can make phone calls between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM. All calls are monitored, and the facility does not allow incoming live calls to juveniles. If you need to reach a juvenile, voicemail is available instead. Call 701-792-6930 to leave a message, but assume anything you say is not confidential. For calling access, residents can purchase phone cards through the facility canteen or online through Reliance. Cards come in $10 and $20 denominations. Reliance also offers online tools for setting up accounts and prebooking services.

Adding money for someone at Ward County Jail typically works through one of the common North Dakota deposit methods: a lobby kiosk, an approved online vendor, or a mailed payment. The exact options and whether cash is accepted can vary. Start by choosing an approved method, then prepare your payment in an accepted form. Include the inmate's account identifier so it posts to the right account. Many kiosks take cash, online vendors usually accept credit or debit cards, and some facilities accept mailed cashier's checks. Deposits often post within a couple of business days. If money or commissary orders don't show up, contact the facility so staff can trace the payment or work with the vendor. You may need a valid photo ID for certain in-person transactions or to pick up released funds.
