Overview
Communication at Bellamy Creek Corrections Facility runs through third-party vendors. Phone calls are available as collect, prepaid collect (AdvancePay®), or debit. You can set up AdvancePay at web.connectnetwork.com or by phone with the vendor, then add funds using the vendor's instructions. Videophone calls are limited to 30 minutes and currently free. Michigan DOC distinguishes Videophones (primarily for deaf or hard-of-hearing incarcerated people) from standard video visitation. Videophones are initiated by the incarcerated person through the vendor app with matching account details. To schedule in-person or video visits, register on the Michigan DOC Visitation Scheduling site (ViaPath) and get your visiting application approved first. Keep in mind that non-legal calls and video visits may be monitored or recorded.
