Wayne County Jail, MI

Wayne County Jail runs video visits through GTL's Visit Now system. To get started, register and download the GTL Friends & Family (FnF Go) app or go to gettingout.com. Visit Now is limited to accepted inmate contacts and only works when tablets designated for video visits are available. If you start the session, you can complete it on a computer or smartphone. If the inmate starts it, you'll need to use your smartphone. Attorneys can schedule client visits through the jail's Attorney Visit Scheduler by emailing attorneyvisits@waynecounty.com. All visits are recorded and monitored, and most facilities require photo ID at check-in.

Communication at many Michigan jails runs through third-party vendors. The typical process: register with the vendor, request approval, then schedule video visits through an app or online portal.
