How to send messages, photos, and packages

Overview

Communication with someone at Barren County Corrections goes through a third-party vendor platform, not the facility directly. These services typically cover phone calls, video visits, secure messaging or tablets, and sometimes mail processing. Before scheduling a video visit or receiving electronic messages, you'll need to create an account with the approved vendor and complete any required approval steps. Video visits are set up through the vendor's website or app, and the details you enter must match the incarcerated person's records. Phone calls are initiated by the incarcerated person and may be collect, debit, or prepaid through an account you fund via the vendor (and sometimes through on-site kiosks). Calls and messages are often monitored or recorded. Attorney communications may have different rules.
