Bartow County Detention Center - Visitation

All inmate visits at the Detention Center from the public will be done via the ICSolutions inmate video visitation system. This system uses a high definition camera to allow video conference between a visitor and an inmate. Visitors should arrive 15 minutes prior to appointment to check in with visitation staff. All visits are subject to monitoring, recording, and review at any time. Each visitation session will show a timer to display elapsed time. After your visit has ended your connection will be terminated.
