How to send messages, photos, and packages
Joe Ney State Jail handles communication through vendor-managed services, including Securus remote video visits and an online phone-registration system. Remote video visits run 60 minutes, cost $10.00, and inmates are limited to one per month. To receive phone calls, register your number online using the inmate's TDCJ ID—the registration portal provides the facility's contact numbers. During sign-up, your ID name must match your telephone listing, and you'll need to confirm you own the phone, are 18 or older, and consent to receiving calls. Call forwarding and three-way calls aren't allowed. For scheduling and payments, follow the steps in the approved vendor portal.
