A new state-of-the-art remote video visitation system has been installed at the Sweetwater County Detention Center that will permit people to visit inmates via the Internet without leaving their homes. Detective Dick Blust Jr. says that the web-based visitation system, called Telmate, went online February 4th.
Those who wish to have video visitations with a inmate, such as family members, must set up a visitation account online or at a special kiosk located in the Detention Center lobby.
There are special fees, including convenience fees, associated with use of the lobby kiosk. The fees are assessed and collected by Telmate, and do not go to the county. Blust points out that the remote video visitation resource is a privilege and may be denied to an inmate for disciplinary reasons or due to operational necessity.
