Overview
CDCR is moving inmate communication services statewide from ViaPath to Securus. Growlersburg Conservation Camp will follow the department's transition timing, so keep an eye out for site-specific notices. If you plan to call, video chat, or send messages, create a Securus account (web or mobile) before the switch so you're ready when services move over. During the changeover, some institutions may still use the older platform. Use whichever system Growlersburg currently supports until the transition is complete. For prepaid video visits and other paid features like messaging, register for the video service and add funds through the app's prepaid option. That way you can schedule visits and accept electronic communications when they become available.
