Hamilton County Jail Inmate Communication Overview
Hamilton County Jail, formally the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center, is the county detention facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, operated by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Located on Standifer Gap Road, it houses pretrial and sentenced inmates from across Hamilton County and serves as the county's main intake facility.
Remote video visits are handled through GettingOut, GTL's consumer platform; families register on GettingOut, choose a friends-and-family or inmate account, verify their identity, and schedule visits in advance. Phone calls run through GTL as well, and the GettingOut account can manage phone, video, and messaging funds in one place.
Visitors must be on the inmate's approved list and check in ahead of their scheduled session. All calls and video visits are monitored and recorded. Because the GettingOut system covers most communication options, one verified account handles phones, video visits, and messaging for this facility.
