How to Contact an Inmate at Jenkins Corrections Center (GA)
Phone calls are usually the fastest way to stay in touch. At Jenkins Corrections Center, calls go through Securus. Your first step is setting up the right account type and getting your number approved.
There are two ways to handle phone charges through Securus. You can set up a pre-paid collect account on the Securus website, or call 1-800-844-6591 to set up a direct-bill account (charged to your phone). Once your account is active, the inmate can start placing calls to approved numbers.
- ✓ Calls may be monitored and recorded.
- ✓ Call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted.
- ✓ The maximum time allowed per call is 25 minutes.
- ✓ Calls are restricted to only the telephone numbers included on the offender’s Call Allow List.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Decide whether you want a pre-paid collect account (set up through the Securus website).
- ✓ If you prefer a direct-bill (family-billed) account, call Securus at 1-800-844-6591 to set it up.
- ✓ Assume calls may be monitored and recorded, and speak accordingly.
- ✓ Do not try to use call forwarding or three-way calling.
- ✓ Keep conversations focused, calls can be cut off at 25 minutes.
- ✓ Make sure the phone number you want called is on the offender’s Call Allow List.
- Confirm which Securus account types are accepted: Ask whether pre-paid collect and direct-bill accounts are both allowed for calls from this facility.
- Verify how they want you to set it up: Confirm whether you should use the Securus website, call 1-800-844-6591, or both, and what information you will need to provide.
- Ask how to add your number to the Call Allow List: Since calls can only go to approved numbers, find out the exact process and who can request the change.
- Confirm monitoring and recording rules: Ask whether calls are monitored and recorded, and what that means in practice for your conversations.
- Confirm blocked calling features: Double-check that call forwarding and three-way calling are not permitted, and ask if there are any exceptions.
- Confirm time and frequency limits: Verify the 25-minute maximum per call and ask if there are daily limits or scheduling rules that affect when calls can be placed.
Tip: Write down the official phone numbers and keep a copy of any written policy or printed instructions you’re given. It makes it much easier to troubleshoot account setup or Call Allow List issues later.
