Overview

Communication at Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF) centers on paid video visitation and managed phone services. PIOC can have up to three video visits per day, each lasting 26 minutes. Availability depends on the schedule and housing unit. Video visits cost $2.50 each (effective June 19, 2023). For phone calls, all non-attorney calls may be monitored and recorded. Attorney calls work differently: PIOC must place them as collect calls, and attorney contact information is added or updated using form DOC-1631. Families should expect to set up separate vendor accounts for phone and messaging services (Securus handles collect/phone services). County phone funds don't transfer. Vendors and platforms can change during statewide transitions, so follow MSDF's current instructions when setting up accounts, scheduling, and buying credits.
