Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Staying in touch with someone at Lubbock County Detention Center means working through third-party services. For electronic messages, the facility uses Smart Communications' MailGuard. Send messages through https://www.smartinmate.com and follow the vendor's account and payment steps. Messages are screened before delivery and may arrive on an inmate tablet or as printed copies, depending on vendor and unit rules. For phone calls, you can add money through ICSolutions, but those funds only cover phone use and can't be applied to other services. Tablet availability varies by unit and custody level, so access depends on housing and facility policy.
