How to send messages, photos, and packages
Staying in touch with someone at Jess Dunn Correctional Center means going through third-party vendors, not direct facility phone lines. Your options typically include phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging. Phone calls are usually outgoing only and are generally recorded or monitored. Most vendors require you to create an account and confirm your phone number before you can receive calls. For video visits, you'll set up an account with the approved vendor, select the facility and the person you're visiting, then schedule or join from a computer or mobile device. Messages and uploaded content can be screened under both vendor rules and facility policy.
