What Phone Calls Actually Cost from Crisp County Detention Center (and How to Set Up Your Account)

Phone calls from Crisp County Detention Center go through Securus. To pay for calls ahead of time or get billed directly, set up a Securus pre-paid collect account or direct-bill account on the Securus Technologies website, or call 1-800-844-6591.

Securus charges $0.06 per minute for pre-paid collect calls, direct billed calls, and debit calls. The rate stays the same across all call types, which makes budgeting straightforward.

Calls max out at 25 minutes. At the current rate, a full 25-minute call costs $1.50. That's a handy number to remember when you're figuring out how far your balance will stretch.

Pre-paid collect accounts have a $200 cap per deposit. Need to add more than that? You'll have to split it across multiple deposits.

Good news: the funding fee is $0.00 regardless of how you add money - automated phone system, website, live agent, or check/money order. The full amount you deposit goes into the account.

Calls cut off at 25 minutes, even if you have funds left. Cover the important stuff early in the conversation.

Call forwarding and three-way calling aren't allowed. Don't try to patch in another person or route the call through a different number. If someone else needs to receive calls, make sure their number is set up and approved on the Call Allow List (see below).

Calls only connect to numbers on the incarcerated person's Call Allow List. If your number isn't on it, the call won't go through. Recently changed phones or got a new number? Expect a delay until it's added to the approved list.

Practical Tips Budgeting and Multiple Numbers

• ✓ Use $0.06 per minute as your baseline when you’re estimating call costs.
• ✓ Treat $1.50 as the “full call” price point, since a 25-minute call is listed at $1.50.
• ✓ If you want a weekly budget, multiply $1.50 by how many full 25-minute calls you expect (for example, 5 calls ≈ $7.50).
• ✓ If calls tend to be shorter, multiply minutes by $0.06 instead (10 minutes ≈ $0.60; 15 minutes ≈ $0.90).

1. Set up your Securus account - Use the Securus Technologies website or call 1-800-844-6591 to start a pre-paid collect or direct-bill account.
2. Add the phone numbers you actually answer - Multiple telephone numbers can be added to an individual pre-paid collect account, which helps if you split time between phones or households.
3. Confirm your account is funded before you expect calls - If you just made changes or added money, double-check through the Securus website or by calling 1-800-844-6591 so you’re not troubleshooting during call time.
