Bartow County Jail Visitation Rules

All visits at the Bartow County jail are done by video through the ICSolutions system. There are no in-person visits. This is the policy for everyone on the Bartow County jail roster. Video visitation lets family members and friends see inmates remotely, either from the jail's visitation center or from a computer or phone at home.

To use ICSolutions for a Bartow County jail visit, you need to set up an account. The service has fees that vary depending on the type of visit. On-site visits at the jail's video station may cost less than remote visits from home. You schedule your visit through the ICSolutions system and pick a time that works for both you and the inmate. The jail manages the schedule to make sure all inmates get access to visits.

This video-only approach is becoming more common in Georgia county jails. It reduces the need for visitor screening, cuts down on contraband risks, and makes it easier for people who live far from the jail to stay in touch with inmates. If you are not sure how to set up a video visit for someone on the Bartow County jail roster, call the jail at 770-382-5050 ext. 6000 for help.

Note: Video visitation fees are set by ICSolutions and are separate from any jail fees charged by Bartow County.
