How to send messages, photos, and packages
Staying in touch at Corrigan-Radgowski Corr. Center runs through department-approved systems. For phone calls, the inmate sets up an approved calling list with up to 10 phone numbers. Calls are limited to 15 minutes, and there's no way for you to dial in—calls are outbound only through the facility's vendor network. For written communication, e-messaging runs through JPay on inmate tablets. Set up a JPay account using the DOC-provided link so you can be added to the inmate's messaging list. Vendors and processes can change, so check the facility page for current instructions.
