Our County received texter devices for the first time in 2020. Our sheriff is interested in video visitation. i'm looking for any information on video visitation, whether using a kiosk in a day room and using the texter. Do you have designated times when video visitation is allowed or is it whenever texters are allowed? What policies are put in place for video visitation? My email is pberg@co.ottertail.mn.us if you wouldn't mind sharing policy or procedure
I am new to this position (15 days) and now trying to come up with a policy and procedure to present to the Sheriff. I am also interested in the pros and cons that your department may have found for video visitation. Thank you for any input,
Preston- Program Coordinator Otter Tail County

We just got it installed this week. We've had on-site visiting but now have off-site as well. The inmates seem to like it although I will be talking to admin about it interfering with program attendance. Inmates sign up to come to programs but then find out they have a visit and then won't come. It's hard when our numbers are so low and trying to keep programs going the way it is, especially with volunteer run programs. I'll email you the handout I just got last night. That being said, it is a great tool for investigators!
