How to send messages, photos, and packages
Churchill Detention Facility uses Securus Video Connect for remote communication. Friends, family, attorneys, and officials can schedule and join video visits from anywhere with internet access. Beyond video calls, Securus also lets you send photos, eCards, and video clips—more than just text messages. To pay for calls or messaging, deposit funds at the kiosk in the Sheriff's Office foyer. Make sure your Securus account is set up and funded before scheduling a visit or sending media. Timing matters: newly booked inmates are on a 48-hour lockdown with only one hour of phone calls per day during that period. After lockdown ends, tier rotations can affect phone access times. All communications may be monitored and recorded.
