How to send messages, photos, and packages
Inmates and CCAP probationers/parolees at Nottoway Corrections Center are automatically enrolled in the Virginia DOC telephone system upon reception. The initial four-digit phone PIN is set to the birth month and day (MMDD). If the PIN doesn't work, dial #21 to report the problem to the contract vendor. Each inmate can have up to 15 approved phone numbers, but your number won't activate until you complete the automated consent process—this includes acknowledging that calls may be monitored and recorded. Properly verified attorney calls are exempt from monitoring, and inmates can use administrative phones for legal calls under legal-access policy. Calls are generally limited to 20 minutes unless the Director authorizes longer. Fund calls through prepaid AdvancePay accounts or deposits via ConnectNetwork using the inmate's seven-digit state ID. You can also deny collect or debit calls.
