Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Keeping in touch with someone at Joe Ney State Jail typically involves remote video visits and phone calls. The unit uses Securus for remote video visits. Each session runs 60 minutes, costs $10, and inmates are limited to one remote video visit per month. To receive phone calls, you need to register your telephone number online and provide the inmate's TDCJ ID. A few registration requirements apply: the name on your ID must match the telephone listing, you must be the phone owner, be at least 18, and agree to receive calls. Call forwarding and three-way calling are not allowed. Scheduling and payment for video visits go through the vendor or agency portal. Some Texas units also offer electronic messaging or tablet services, but features vary by unit, so check the facility page for what's currently available.
