How to Contact an Inmate at Facility
If your loved one is at Bleckley Probation Detention Center, phone calls go through Securus. Here's how to get set up and what to expect.
You can set up a pre-paid collect or direct bill phone account with Securus. Create your account on the Securus Technologies website or call 1-800-844-6591.
Call rules: Calls may be monitored and recorded. Call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted, the maximum time allowed per call is 25 minutes, and calls are restricted to telephone numbers on the offender’s Call Allow List.
There's also a debit calling option funded by the offender. They can transfer money from their trust account to a Securus debit calling account in $1 increments. The rate is $0.06 per minute, so a full 25-minute call costs $1.50.
Want multiple family members to receive calls? Or switching phones? You can add multiple telephone numbers to a single pre-paid collect Securus account.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Set up a Securus pre-paid collect or direct bill account through the Securus Technologies website, or by calling 1-800-844-6591.
- ✓ Add the phone numbers you want associated with the pre-paid collect account (you can add multiple numbers).
- ✓ If your loved one plans to use debit calling, confirm they can transfer money from their trust account to their Securus debit calling account in $1 increments.
- ✓ Make sure the phone number you want them to call is on their Call Allow List.
- ✓ Keep calls simple, call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted, and each call is limited to 25 minutes.
Privacy reminder: Calls may be monitored and recorded. Keep personal details and anything sensitive off the phone.
For cost planning: the rate is $0.06 per minute, making a full 25-minute call $1.50. If they're using debit calling, that balance comes from trust account transfers in $1 increments.
- Confirm Securus is still the phone provider. Ask whether you should set up service through the Securus Technologies website or by calling 1-800-844-6591.
- Confirm the current calling rate. The listed debit calling rate is $0.06 per minute ($1.50 for 25 minutes), but rates can change.
- Confirm the current calling rules. Make sure you understand the 25-minute maximum, the no forwarding or three-way rule, and the requirement that the number be on the offender’s Call Allow List.
Counting on debit calls? Confirm how the trust-to-debit transfer works day to day. The policy allows $1 increments, but ask how quickly those transfers become available for calling.
