How to send messages, photos, and packages

Remote communication typically includes phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging, but third-party vendors usually run these services. That means account setup, billing, and technical support are handled through the vendor's portal, not the facility itself. Before expecting digital contact, confirm you're on the inmate's approved contact list and follow the vendor's steps: creating an account, completing identity verification, and booking ahead when required.
