How Phone Calls Work at Berrien County Jail: Hours, Costs, and Setup
Trying to stay in touch with someone at Berrien County Jail? The phone system is prepaid-only, which means you — the person receiving calls — may need to set up an account before they can reach you.
Phone calls at Berrien County Jail are prepaid only. Your loved one can't call and have it billed the usual way - you need to set up your number to accept prepaid calls first.
Phone access runs daily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you're expecting a call, keep your phone close and your ringer on during those hours.
- Call 1-800-483-8314 - this is the number the called party uses to set up a prepaid account to receive calls.
- Follow the prompts to create your prepaid receiving account - once your account is set up, you should be able to accept calls from the jail during phone hours.
- Keep your account info handy - if calls don’t come through later, having your details ready makes it easier to troubleshoot.
All calls from inmate phones are recorded. This applies to phones in dorms, booking areas, medical holding cells, and visitation areas - assume anything said can be monitored and reviewed.
- ✓ Illegal activities on the phone
- ✓ Harassing people by phone
- ✓ Monopolizing the phone (tying it up so others can’t use it)
- ✓ Repeated calls when the person being called has requested it stop
Keep it clean: Since calls are recorded, stick to respectful, lawful conversations. Misusing the phone system can result in lost privileges.
If your loved one tries calling but can't get through, your number may be blocked by the phone company for financial reasons. To remove the block, call 1-866-230-7761 and make arrangements.
