A new Inmate Visiting Scheduling Management System has made the lines to wait to visit an inmate much shorter in the Los Angeles County Jail system.
Prior to the beginning of this program in February 2011, visiting a family member or loved one who is incarcerated was a tedious process which often included long waits for a thirty minute visit. Currently, there are over 134,000 registered visitors using the program’s scheduling software which enables the Sheriff’s Department to configure, manage, schedule, and automate visitation requests.
The new Inmate Visiting Scheduling Management System has not only helped our jail facilities reallocate staffing resources to higher priorities, but has served the larger community by removing some of the barriers that exist for visiting those who are incarcerated. The results are increased visitation opportunities for inmates and reduced recidivism rates in the community.
“This advanced system offers inmates a way to connect better with their families and provides an improved visiting environment," said Sheriff Baca.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department’s Custody Division consists of eight jail facilities, averages a daily inmate population of over 18,000 inmates, and approximately 150,000 bookings annually. It is the largest jail system in the nation and on average schedules approximately 20,000 visits per month. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has partnered with Renovo Software to enhance and continuously improve the inmate visitation process.

You may not need to visit an inmate today, but this system will be of help to you if you need to in the future.
