Fridley Woman Visits Dakota County Jail Inmate Via Video
It's the first county in the state to use the video visit system.
A Fridley woman uses a video system to virtually visit her fiancé in the Dakota County Jail, according to the Star Tribune.
A system that is something like Skype lets Michelle Stroman place a video call from her computer at home in Fridley to Brad Kraemer, who is behind bars in Hastings, the newspaper reported.
"It's a lot more convenient" than driving 40 miles and back to Hastings, Stroman told the Star Tribune.
