How to Contact an Inmate at Facility
Staying in touch is possible, but communication has strict limits. Start with the call rules below, then follow the steps to get set up.
Before you try to connect, know that phone calls may be monitored and recorded. Calls are tightly controlled: the person in custody can only call numbers on their Call Allow List, and each call maxes out at 25 minutes. The system blocks workarounds too. Call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted.
Privacy reminder: Calls may be subject to monitoring and recording, so assume anything said on the line could be reviewed.
- ✓ Calls are restricted to only the telephone numbers included on the offender’s Call Allow List.
- ✓ The maximum time allowed per call is 25 minutes.
- ✓ Call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Confirm your phone number is on the offender’s Call Allow List before you expect a call.
Plan for short conversations. Each call maxes out at 25 minutes, and the system blocks call forwarding and three-way calling. If you want to include someone else, you'll need to find another way since adding a third person to the call isn't allowed.
