"It's a visitation night at the Sumter County Jail, and the jail is crowded with people waiting to see the inmates behind the windows. But to give prisoners more space, the windows may soon be replaced by television screens. Technology is spreading across the nation, replacing face-to-face jail visits with a combination of television, video camera, and telephone. Some say it's too impersonal. Others see it as a space-saving solution.
During a typical state-of-the-art video visitation, prisoners stay in the jail and speak in front of a video camera while their guests do the same in a separate building. The high-security jail space that once contained the windows can be used for prisoners. "
