Communication
Detainees at Kleberg County Detention Center get two free phone calls right after booking, plus another set after appearing before a magistrate. For ongoing calls, you'll need to register your phone number with the approved vendor system and have the inmate's ID or booking number ready so calls route correctly. Calls through the vendor platform are monitored and paid through vendor-managed accounts—prepaid deposits or a vendor wallet—not cash given to detainees. Video visitation, electronic messaging, and inmate tablets may be available, but options vary by housing unit. When setting things up, follow the vendor's registration steps, keep the booking number handy, and confirm which services are offered for that specific unit.
