Visits can be scheduled and paid for in advance, allowing you to visit with inmates at times that are convenient for you.

We offer two types of Video Visitation services:

At-Home Video Visits

These video visits can be conducted at home on your PC computer, laptop or mobile device (Android).

Ease stress on children who can now communicate without visiting the facility in person.

On-site Video Visits

On-site video visits are conducted at visitation stations at the facility.

With these visits, you are still required to travel to the facility.

Through our easy-to-use website, you can schedule, register, and pay for (if applicable) the visit in advance. Then, conduct the visit in real-time over the internet.

Please note: These services can vary by facility and are not available at all locations.

Allen County jail project delayed by lawsuits challenging funding

The lawsuit filed by Allen County residents attacking the financial proposal for the planned new Allen County jail has delayed the project.

A group of opponents called the Allen County Residents Against the Jail sued both the Allen County Commissioners and the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance, or DLGF. The lawsuits came about a month after the DLGF approved the final lease-purchase agreement for the $300-million project.

Those lawsuits, filed in Allen Superior Court and the Indiana Tax Court, are still pending. The Allen County case has nothing scheduled until status reports are filed in July.

The tax case is awaiting a decision on whether the opponents need to file a bond while the case works its way through the court.

Federal court documents say that puts the jail on hold, in spite of a pending federal court order demanding that unconstitutional conditions of safety, overcrowding and understaffing be addressed.

Allen County Commissioners decided a new jail was easier than rehabbing and expanding the downtown jail and the county council agreed, barely, to fund it with a tax increase and available cash.

Federal documents filed Monday say for now, the progress on the new facility at the old Harvester site is moving where it can, using existing money.

What is a video visit?

Video visitation, also known as remote visitation, is quickly becoming the preferred method for visiting an inmate in jail or prison for the following reasons: •    It requires little to no staff, versus the staff required to move inmates to and from the visit and watch over the visit. It saves the Allen County Juvenile Detention Center money. •    It removes any opportunity for contraband (drugs) to enter the facility. •    It can become a profit center for the facility, given that the revenue generated by visits is shared with the jail. •    While inmates prefer to see family and friends in person, video visitation allows them to visit with them more often, and on a whim. •    Video visitation gives the inmates and their visitors the feeling of more privacy. Video visitation from the perspective of the visitor allows them to visit from their home, their car, at work, and even allows them to take their device to a family or religious gathering. It allows them to give their inmate the feeling of belonging and not being forgotten.

Video visitation can take place on a computer, a tablet or a phone. 

Video visitation saves time. Instead of spending hours driving to the jail, checking in, filling out paperwork, potentially being searched, waiting, and then having a 15–30-minute visit, if it isn’t cancelled at the last minute, the visit can be done from anywhere during a short break in the visitor’s day.

If the visitor does not have access to a phone or computer, they can make an appointment ahead of time and use terminals in the lobby of the jail.

You must also be on the inmate's approved list, even for a video visit.

What are the companies that work with the jails and prisons that allow video visits?

There are several different companies that contract with all the jails and prisons that allow video visitation:

Beaverton police sought road rage suspect — only to find he was already in custody

B eaverton police tracked down and planned to arrest a motorcyclist accused of harassing and threatening to kill a woman and her children during a road rage encounter last week only to find that he was already in jail on separate allegations, police said Thursday.

The woman was driving her children home from school on Murray Boulevard near Southwest Allen Boulevard about 3 p.m. last Friday when a man on a motorcycle began screaming that she had cut him off, Beaverton police said in a statement.

Video footage obtained from the woman’s Tesla showed the man hitting and kicking the car and yelling at the woman, police said. He appeared to pull a knife and threatened to kill her, according to police.

Investigators used a combination of the video images and a tip to identify the motorcyclist as Joseph Y. Lee, 33, of Portland, police said.

After identifying him, police said they realized Lee had already been arrested a day after the road rage confrontation on allegations of impaired driving, unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and disorderly conduct and was in the Washington County Jail. Lee was accused of pulling a knife on a man at Brooklyn Trattoria on Northwest Bethany Boulevard on the night of May 18, according to court records.

Police added allegations of menacing, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief against Lee in the road rage encounter. Lee pleaded not guilty in Washington County Circuit Court and remained in the Washington County Jail on Thursday afternoon.

Court records show Lee was arrested eight times in California from 2019 to 2021 on a variety of charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, battery and vandalism. The records don’t show the outcomes of the cases.
