Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
At Forsyth Correctional Center, people in custody stay in touch through vendor-run phone systems, electronic tablets, digital messaging, and video visits. The facility itself doesn't handle these services directly. To get started, create an account with the approved communications vendor and use their app or web portal to manage calling, messaging, and video services. You'll add funds inside the vendor portal so the incarcerated person can place calls or use paid tablet features. Video visits may require both of you to be approved in the vendor system before you can schedule or join. Messages often come through the vendor's secure messaging system or as digitized mail on a tablet. Some systems require the incarcerated person to message first. Be careful with sensitive details in public forms, chatbots, or email.
