Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
At Easterling Corrections Facility in Alabama, communication works through outgoing phone calls and vendor-based video visits rather than standard incoming calls. The person in custody initiates contact using the facility phone system and an assigned PIN. Some prompts may ask for a booking identifier. Expect calls and many electronic messages to be monitored and recorded, so keep conversations appropriate and avoid sharing highly sensitive details. If you need to pay for phone or video time, or add money for commissary, common options include online deposits, phone payments, CashPayToday payment locations, or mailing a money order with a deposit coupon. Some payment services accept major cards for online or phone deposits (including MasterCard and Visa through Access Secure Deposits). CashPayToday requires sender and recipient registration and uses a printed or on-phone barcode at the store.
