Learn The Benefits Of A Video Visitation For Inmates

By Andrew Smith


Distance between friends and loved ones is a lonely situation so what more if the distance is walled by a correctional facility. And there would come a time when prisoners would be moved from one locality to another which could mean miles away from home. Visitation could really be a hassle as interruptions could be in more than a day. Fortunately, the facility wards are conducting improved video visitation for inmates.

Travelling would be a piece of cake for younger visitors. But the actual safety protocols on-site the facility could cause a moral trauma as we all know how private body parts are randomly checked. This in return would affect negatively the meeting. Good to know there is now existing option to be on a safer side.

Since then it is seen that video visitation has improved the condition of the facility. Inmates have less contact with security forces, and the latter would divert their time from manning the prisons to attending other important tasks around the area. In a way, it improves the prisoners well-being also as he now has a sense self-decision on his own to move.

The facility personnel had taken more important tasks than transferring prisoners from one cell to another cell of visitation. Illegal transactions among inmates were also prevented. For this positive observation, videoconferencing continues till this day and is improving technically. In fact, contractors are competing for customers trust.

When it comes to funding the service, the welfare funds intended for inmates are used. Additional support comes from the shared profits and commissary fractions with phone contracts or IT vendors. Sometimes supporting funds are abolished in order for vendors to make upgrades and improvements on the facility.

Thus, for the part of the visiting person, he must be well versed of what could happen along the way. Different vendors have their own way of conducting the business. Others require the visitor to go check for himself if it is actually served in the prison. Others also extend the service of coordinating between clients.

Videoconferencing is not free. Companies charge the visitor per minute for a minimum of 33 cents, in additional to a fix charging fee which, basing on the internet, could amount to 30 dollars. And the video duration is only less than an hour like, thirty minutes. Basing again on the reviews, other visitors have experienced extortion from greedy vendors.

One of the latest improvements in video visitation is the option in making it at the home. Unlike before when videoconferencing happens only on site the facility, which of course is obsolete as it is not at pace with the current time, inmates now may take a look at the outside world. They could communicate more than one loved ones and the background could be arranged in order to refresh previous memories.

Recently, the latest trend in videoconferencing is the possibility to do it at the home of visitors. And this has been like a sweet music to the ears of the prisoners as they could have a glimpse on the forgotten outside world. The background space could be arranged also to suit the needs of both parties. But no matter how good this sounds like, the situation should comply with the rules set by the correctional facility as ongoing conference is monitored or recorded.
