How to send messages, photos, and packages
Detainees at Kay County Detention Center cannot receive incoming telephone calls. If you need to leave an urgent message, call the facility with the detainee's full name, A-number, and your contact information. The facility is required to provide at least one operable telephone for every 25 detainees (PBNDS 2011 lists an optimal level of one phone per ten detainees). Privileged calls to courts, attorneys, the DHS Office of Inspector General, or calls made to obtain legal representation cannot be electronically monitored without a court order. Facilities must also permit direct or free calls to specified entities, and requests must be granted within 24 hours and ordinarily within eight facility-established waking hours. Phone, video, and electronic messaging options vary by vendor and typically require an account, phone-number registration, and vendor scheduling and payment steps.
