​Lea County Correctional Facility

Visiting at Lea County Correctional Facility is straightforward if you bring the right documents and follow the lobby rules. You'll need a valid photo ID to enter. Anyone under 18 must bring a birth certificate—no exceptions—so gather paperwork for minors before you arrive. Cell phones are strictly prohibited in the lobby and anywhere on facility grounds. Food and beverages aren't allowed in the lobby either. If you have personal items, pick up a locker token at the reception counter when you check in. For scheduling, review the facility's visitor information PDF, which lists visiting hours by unit and other unit-specific rules. Before your first visit, make sure you're on the inmate's approved list, complete any required visitor forms, and be ready to register on arrival.

Lea County Correctional Facility allows inmates to place outbound phone calls and use video visit services through approved vendors. Calls generally require money in the inmate's account or an established billing arrangement. The facility lists Securus for billing and video-visit information at (800) 844-6591, and a visitor information PDF also lists ITI for account setup at 1-814-949-3303. One catch: facility documents don't match on call limits—one policy lists 20 minutes per call, while the visitor PDF lists 15 minutes. Collect-call pricing depends on your location; an example rate shows a 15- or 20-minute collect call to the Stroudsburg area at about $3.55. Since vendors, setup steps, limits, and rates can change, confirm current details with the facility or vendor before setting anything up.

All personal mail to Lea County Correctional Facility goes through the Securus Digital Mail Center. Include the inmate's full name and ID number, plus your full return name and physical address. The facility only accepts mail delivered through the United States Postal Service or a commercial delivery company. Sending a money order? It must clearly show the inmate's name, and you can't include any letters inside the envelope. Books and other publications must be mailed directly from the publisher to the facility's street address. All incoming mail is inspected for contraband and prohibited content, so check any publisher requirements and page/photo limits before sending anything.

Lea County Correctional Facility accepts deposits to an inmate's account Monday–Friday, 8:00am–4:00pm, using cash or money orders. Can't make it in person? Add funds remotely through JPay's website or by calling 1-866-333-5729. If you're mailing a money order, follow the facility's formatting requirements—money orders need the inmate's name clearly shown, and don't include any letters in the envelope. Money placed on an inmate's account is used for commissary purchases and other authorized charges. Before sending funds, double-check the facility page or approved vendors for accepted deposit methods, any fees, posting times, and sender approval rules.
