Across Michigan correctional facilities, families typically stay in touch through phone calls, scheduled remote or on-site video visits, and tablet-based messaging (including photos and electronic mail). Most of these services run through third-party vendors. One thing to know: non-legal phone calls and video visits are routinely recorded and monitored, so avoid discussing privileged legal matters on those channels. To receive calls or schedule video visits, you'll typically register with the approved vendor, request approval as an authorized visitor, then use the vendor's portal to manage your account. Vendors set the fees and screen all messages and photos.
