Abstract:

The Durham County Sheriff’s Office recently installed video monitors in the jail’s lobby to offer a safer alternative to moving inmates around the jail for visits, and to give inmates more visitation opportunities. Critics, however, contend that video visitation is a thinly veiled move to eliminate in-person visits altogether and profit from incarceration by eventually charging visitors to use the service.
