Staying in touch with someone at Lawrence County Jail usually starts with adding money for phone use. Make deposits by phone, online, or at a kiosk through the facility's processing company (not the commissary), so direct fee questions to the processor. For debit or credit card deposits by phone, call 855-VendEng (855-836-3364). Inmates can only place outbound calls, so you can't call into the jail to reach them directly. Calls are typically monitored or recorded. Before an inmate can call you, your number must be on their approved list. Video and messaging services, when offered, run through a third-party vendor. You'll set up an account in the vendor's app or website to handle scheduling and payments.
