How to send messages, photos, and packages

Overview

Marion Correctional Institution's Annual Report includes an entry titled "Offender Phone Rates," meaning phone-cost details are available in facility materials. In Ohio prisons, people in custody typically have access to outgoing phone calls, electronic messages through kiosks or tablets, and video visiting options. The exact services depend on the facility and its contracted vendor. Calls, video sessions, and electronic messages are monitored and recorded for security, with limited exceptions for privileged communications. Most communication runs through third-party vendors, so you'll need to follow the vendor's rules for registration, payments, and technical setup. The typical steps: get approved, get added to the incarcerated person's approved list, register in the vendor portal, and complete any ID or verification requirements for remote video visits.
