Setting Up Phone Calls, Video Visits, and Chirps for Ohio County Jail (CPC)
Staying in touch with someone at Ohio County Jail, KY? You'll handle most communication setup through CPC (Combined Public Communications). Here's how to get phone calls, video visits, and Chirp minutes ready from the outside.
To set up prepaid phone calling, create an account through CPC Customer Service. Call 1-877-988-5678 to get started. Have the incarcerated person's identifying information handy so CPC can match the account correctly.
Video visitation runs through CPC too. You can set up a prepaid account for video visits through CPC's online system - it's designed for people arranging things from outside the facility.
If your loved one uses a Chirp device, you can fund it from the outside by purchasing minutes through CPC. Either call CPC Customer Service at the number above or use their online account system.
Ohio County Jail gives each new intake one free three-minute phone card. That first call is usually a quick "I'm here" check-in. If you're waiting to hear from someone who was just booked, keep your phone close. And if you're talking to CPC or jail staff about phone access, mention the free three-minute card so everyone's on the same page.
Chirp devices aren't available right away. At Ohio County Jail, inmates become eligible for a Chirp device after five days, so don't worry if you can't add Chirp minutes during that first week.
