Tablets from CIDNET give Thin Blue Line Lane inmates calls, video sessions and messaging, the jail's listing says, all routed through a server Infante's staff control so conversations can be monitored and written messages screened. Entertainment and education features carry an ongoing cost even when the tablet itself is supplied. Message setup for Adel is described in the Dallas County texting guide.

Adel inmates can be set up with a CIDNET tablet on a month-to-month rental that, per the jail's listing, bundles phone-rate calling, paid messages, free coursework, recovery and mental-health material, music, legal research, eBooks, faith resources, games and digital jail forms. Adel rentals renew on the 1st with the whole month charged, and CIDNET adds no fee for starting or stopping one.
Are calls on a Dallas County tablet monitored?
Is a tablet subscription for an Adel inmate prorated?
I paid for a tablet on Monday; when will my son in Adel have it?
Yes. Tablet calls go through the jail-controlled server and are recorded and monitored like unit calls.
No. According to the jail's listing, CIDNET bills the full month on the first even for partial use.
Usually by the end of the following week at the latest, since CIDNET quotes three to five business days from payment.
