  The Fulton  County Jail Now Offers Video Visitation

                                  Attention Visitors

Visitors will have a simpler way to see inmates face-to-face thanks to new innovations being introduced at the Fulton County Jail. The sheriff's office is in the process of installing a video conferencing system that will provide a central area where visitors can see inmates on a video screen. Video telephones will be used as part of this service.

The inmate housing areas will have similar units allowing them to interface with visitors. On January 14, 2009, jail staff began phasing in the new system, starting with 2 South Tower and will gradually use the system for the entire facility. These improvements will increase efficiency and safety at the same time. The new system will save visitors time by speeding up the check-in process and eliminating the need for them to go to housing units for meetings.

This is another way for jail staff to eliminate the possibility of visitors attempting to bring contraband into the facility. With this new system, children under 14 are allowed to visit inmates, as long as they are accompanied by an adult.
