Who Will Call When Lawrence Correctional Center Shows Up on Your Phone

If you see an unfamiliar Illinois number and you're expecting a prison call, caller ID can help you confirm where it's coming from. Here's what Lawrence Correctional Center calls typically show on your phone, plus how the calling rules work.

• 1 min read Verified from official sources

Calls from Lawrence Correctional Center should show up as (618) 352-3508 on your caller ID. Your phone might display it with dashes, parentheses, or just a straight string of digits depending on your carrier and settings. Either way, the number itself will be the same.

At Illinois Department of Corrections facilities, people in custody can only place outbound calls. They cannot receive incoming calls. To get a call from someone at Lawrence, you need to be on their approved calling list. Even if you have the correct facility number, you won't be able to call in and get connected to them.

Phone service for individual in-custody calls across the Illinois Department of Corrections is handled by ICSolutions. If you're setting up an account or managing charges, ICSolutions is the vendor name you'll see tied to IDOC phone service.
