Helpful Tips

Ensure that your visitor tests their equipment before video visiting online. Web users can test their video and audio equipment by using a free audition room at www.inmatecanteen.com. Any funds that are not used in your “my communications account” are not refundable. Accounts that have been active for more than one month will be subject to a $1.00 recurring maintenance fee. Accounts with inactivity for more than one month will also be subject to a $1.00 recurring maintenance fee.

Most poor or lost connections during a Video Visitation have to do with the web user’s internet connection or computer hardware. For successful Video Visitation, TurnKey Corrections recommends using hard lined internet connections with previously tested computer equipment. TurnKey Corrections and the Allen County Adult Detention Center are not responsible for the web user’s internet connection or computer hardware. Internet speeds have been tested at the Allen County Adult Detention Center and are more than capable of providing this privilege

Video Visitation is in BETA cellular phone/tablet testing. Cellular phones/tablets are currently not a reliable method to participate in video visitation and are not recommended as each device and manufacturer has their own unique software and drivers. TurnKey Corrections and the Allen County Adult Detention Center are not responsible for the web user’s cellular data or internet charges.

Any web users who have questions regarding TurnKey Corrections Inmate Communication will be directed to TurnKey Corrections. The Allen County Adult Detention Center does not offer technical support for www.inmatecanteen.com.
