The Charles Webster Detention is a detention center located at 1941 Phinizy Rd Augusta, GA which is operated locally by the Richmond County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Richmond County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Augusta Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.

The jail offers a phone program through Bealls Communications for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $13.00 per call.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

Visitation Information

The Richmond County Sheriff's Office employs a two-way, real-time video visitation system. This setup enables family and friends to communicate with inmates directly from the detention center's visitor center. Visits must be scheduled and approved in advance, and scheduling can be done using one of the two kiosks located in the visitor's center. This system allows for visits without the need for physical presence in the inmate's housing area, thereby enhancing safety and convenience.

Visitation is considered a privilege rather than a right. Inmates who exhibit disciplinary issues or pose security risks may have their visitation privileges revoked. Additionally, those who violate the Inmate Wristband Policy will be restricted from receiving visitors, except for legal visits. Jail Administration and Visitor Center Officers have the authority to deny visitation requests as deemed necessary. Visits can also be postponed or canceled due to jail emergencies or administrative reasons, with notifications sent via email in such instances.

Visitors are expected to be courteous and considerate, maintaining a low tone of conversation in the lobby or visitation hallway. Respect for other visitors and inmates is essential while in the Visitation Booth, ensuring a conducive environment for everyone involved.

Video visitation services are provided through InmateSales.com. Visitors must register and create an account on the InmateSales website or they can seek assistance by calling customer service at 1-877-998-5678. The Visitation Center will take up to 72 business hours to approve or deny visitor registrations. Following the review, an email will be sent to the visitor with further instructions.

Video visitation is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 11:30 am and 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Visits must be scheduled the day before the desired visitation date and can be planned up to one week in advance. Each inmate is entitled to one visit per week. Inmate workers are allowed to visit during the same hours as the general population, ensuring equal access to visitation opportunities.
