Free On‑Site Video Visit Booths at Wichita County Jail — How They Work and How to Book
Want to see someone at Wichita County Jail without paying for a remote video visit? The Law Enforcement Center has free on-site video booths. Here's how they work, when you can use them, and what to confirm before you go.
The Law Enforcement Center has several on-site video visit booths available to the public at no cost. Booths are open Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. Plan your visit within that window.
Good to know: Using an on-site video visit booth means you don’t have to wait in the regular visitation line.
Here's a helpful detail: according to the Sheriff's Office, you can use an on-site video booth without being on your loved one's approved visitor list. Stuck waiting on list approval - or not sure if you're on it? The booth option may still let you connect.
Scheduling is straightforward: create or log into your account at gettingout.com, or schedule directly at the video visit booth when you arrive. Already have a GettingOut account? Logging in beforehand can save time once you're there.
One catch to know about: GettingOut (Telmate) says free visits are an inmate benefit credited to the inmate's account, and only the inmate can book a free visit. Depending on how the system handles free booth time, your loved one may need to initiate or schedule the visit from their side.
Before you go: Confirm how booking works for these free booth visits. Ask staff at the Law Enforcement Center, or check the booth/kiosk screen to see whether you can schedule it yourself or whether the inmate must book it.
Beyond the on-site booths, Wichita County also directs people to GettingOut for emails, messages, and video chat. If you want to message or set up a video chat from home (not using the booth), you'll schedule through GettingOut's friends and family option.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Bring a current, valid picture ID if you’re 17 or older (state-issued or military).
- ✓ Plan to carry only your ID and car keys into the Law Enforcement Center - everything else must stay in your vehicle.
Give yourself a buffer when you arrive during booth hours (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, 8:00 am to 7:00 pm). The booths let you skip the regular visitation line, but you'll still go through normal entry and check-in at the Law Enforcement Center before your visit starts.
