Phone service at Crittenden County Jail runs through ICSolutions. To receive calls, set up and fund a prepaid account at https://www.icsolutions.com or call 1-888-506-8407 for help. The jail also accepts voicemail messages for inmates—call 1-270-301-9913, follow the automated prompts, and have the inmate's jacket number ready. Each message costs $0.25. Calls and electronic messages are typically monitored or recorded, though privacy rules vary by communication type and vendor. I recommend setting up your vendor account ahead of time if you plan to use video visits or electronic messaging. The incarcerated person places the outbound call, which may be collect, debit, or funded through prepaid accounts.

Send all mail to 208 W Carlisle St, Marion, KY 42064. Include the inmate's full name and your complete return address so mail can be delivered or returned if needed.

No inappropriate content allowed, and each inmate can receive up to 15 mailed photos per month. Anything over that limit goes back to the sender. Unapproved inmate-to-inmate mail (or mail forwarded for another inmate) isn't accepted. Newspaper subscriptions can be mailed in the inmate's name, but magazines aren't allowed. For digital options, GettingOut offers messages, photos ($0.25), and video messages ($0.35) when the inmate's account is funded.
