Overview

At Fountain Correctional Center, communication is set up for outgoing calls only. Incarcerated people generally cannot receive regular incoming phone calls. All calls and many electronic messages are routinely monitored and recorded, and people in custody use assigned PINs to access the phone system. Video visits and electronic messaging are typically provided through third-party vendors, though the exact vendor, scheduling steps, and availability can vary. Before funding an account or scheduling a video visit, you'll usually need the incarcerated person's booking identifier from the jail roster. Check the jail roster or facility contact page first to confirm the booking number and which vendor(s) the facility accepts.
