Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Staying in touch with someone at Chickasaw Correctional Facility may involve phone calls, video visits, electronic messaging, and on-site kiosks. The exact options depend on what the facility offers through its contracted services. In most cases, you'll need to register with the approved communications provider and create an account before calls, video visits, or messages can begin. Many services also require you to add funds or set up a payment method through an approved portal, kiosk, or third-party vendor. If video visits or messaging sessions need to be scheduled, plan ahead and confirm availability. Expect phone calls and electronic communications to be monitored and recorded. Recordings are kept for a limited time and may be shared with authorities. One thing to know: MDOC does not provide visitation application forms online, by email, or by mail. Applicants are not automatically notified of approval, so call to confirm before traveling.
