How to send messages, photos, and packages
At Boone County Jail, you can stay in touch through phone calls, scheduled video visits, electronic messaging, and traditional mail. Most services run through third-party vendor platforms rather than directly through the jail. Phone calls are typically outgoing only and may be collect, prepaid, or debit. You'll need an account with the vendor and funds loaded before calls go through. Phone, video, and electronic communications are recorded and monitored. Remote visits may also require identity verification and visitor approval. To get started, create a vendor account, upload a government ID and recent headshot, then wait for approval before messaging or scheduling video.
