How to send messages, photos, and packages
Forrest County Jail uses CityTelecoin for inmate phone services. Create (or log into) a CityTelecoin recipient account before you expect calls. Inmates at Forrest County Correctional Facility get two free 10‑minute phone calls per day—anything beyond that requires adding funds or using another approved payment method. Setting up your account early helps avoid delays when arranging calls or video sessions. All phone calls and electronic communications are monitored and recorded. Keep in mind that access and scheduling can change during lockdowns or disciplinary actions. For current setup steps, fees, and any temporary limits, check facility rules and the CityTelecoin site.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
