Jail Exchange describes the FRIENDS & FAMILY ACCOUNT as the option that lets you control communication spending and the phone number the person in custody can call. With the INMATE ACCOUNT, the person in custody controls spending on calls to approved numbers and other available communication services. These are communication accounts, not commissary deposits.
Quick Connect uses a debit or credit card on file to pay for an incoming call. When the call arrives, follow the automated voice system’s instructions to pay for that call. The charge is billed immediately to your card.
