WOOD COUNTY JAIL, TX

Wood County Jail offers both in-person and video visits. In-person visitation happens only on Tuesday and Sunday. Call the jail to schedule no later than 6:00 PM the day before, and you can only sign up for the next available date. Each visit lasts exactly 20 minutes. Inmates may have up to two in-person visits per week, but no more than one per day. Only two people can visit at a time (children count toward that limit), and anyone under 17 must be accompanied by an adult. Male and female groups have separate time windows, with a midday break between sessions. All visits are recorded and electronically monitored. Bring a valid photo ID, follow the dress code, and leave weapons, cell phones, tablets, and other electronics outside the visitation booth.

Remote video visits at Wood County Jail are handled through JailATM.com. You'll schedule and connect through that site. Some accounts require ID verification before activation due to federal regulations. JailATM also warns that mobile devices aren't supported, so expect problems if you're using a smartphone or tablet. For electronic messaging, you'll need a messaging subscription to send or open collect messages. The vendor applies a $5.00 credit when messaging is enabled. Photo attachments must follow JailATM's upload rules (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF up to 5120 KB). Messages expire 14 days after being read and cannot be retrieved after that.

Wood County Jail uses JailATM for electronic money deposits. JailATM accepts Visa and MasterCard but not prepaid cards. Deposits are capped at $300.00 per resident per calendar week (Sunday through Saturday), and most payments post within 24 to 48 hours. Your JailATM account must include a Social Security Number to send funds. Double-check the amount and recipient before submitting. JailATM transactions and commissary sales are final, and refunds generally aren't available. If a deposit hasn't posted after 24 to 48 hours, contact the facility first. If they can't resolve it, Tech Friends will investigate after 72 business hours. For other methods, follow Texas Inmate Trust Fund guidance and centralized deposit instructions. Don't send cash or personal checks.
