Communication

Arkansas correctional facilities typically use third-party vendors for phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging. That means you'll need to sign up with the facility's approved vendor before using any service. Most systems require an account with a funded balance to cover calls, messages, or video sessions. Payments are handled through the vendor or commissary-linked options. Inmates can generally only make outgoing calls. Most facilities don't allow incoming calls or direct third-party call arrangements, though monitoring policies and allowed call types vary. To avoid last-minute problems, confirm which vendor East Central Arkansas Corrections uses and follow the setup steps. If video visits require appointments, schedule those in advance. Also check that your device, operating system, and browser meet the platform's requirements before your visit.
