Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Old Colony Correctional Center uses Securus for video visits. Before you can schedule a session, you need to complete the vendor's pre-approval process and be on the inmate's pre-approved visiting list. Once approved, you'll book video visits through the Securus platform, so set up your account before trying to reserve a time. Keep in mind that calls, video visits, and messages at correctional facilities are commonly provided by third-party vendors and may be monitored or screened. For deposits and account funding, families often use third-party services (such as Access Corrections or cash-enrollment services) or in-person drop-off options where available. Procedures vary by facility, so check the vendor and account steps early to avoid delays.
