How to send messages, photos, and packages
Staying in touch with someone at Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center (DRDC) may include phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, or electronic mail, depending on what the facility and its vendor offer. DRDC uses Securus for video visiting, and you can't book until you're approved on the inmate's visiting list. Plan ahead: video visits must be scheduled by midnight the day before, and you can reserve a slot no more than seven days in advance. Session length and per-inmate limits are set by the facility and enforced during booking—check the Securus booking screen for exact caps. Every participant must be approved, or the visit can be ended and future visits suspended.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
