How to send messages, photos, and packages
Phone and electronic communication at Jefferson City Corr Center runs through third-party vendors. Incarcerated people place outgoing calls using a personal PIN, and you'll need a vendor account to receive calls or add funds. Most families start by registering through the provider's portal and funding a prepaid or debit option for calling time. Securus is the primary contact for call setup and support (securustech.net, 1-800-844-6591, customerservice@securustech.net). You can add money electronically through JPay, or send a money order or cashier's check payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections with the required DOC deposit slip. Keep in mind that calls, video, and electronic messages are recorded and monitored. Exact services and pricing can vary by vendor and facility.
