How inmate phone calls work at Oldham County Detention Center (and what to do if they run out of time)
Phone access at Oldham County Detention Center is straightforward once you know the hours and how to add call time. Here's how the in-cell phones work, what new arrestees get at booking, and the fastest ways to add time when calls cut off.
Offenders at Oldham County Detention Center have phones inside their cells. They're available every day from 7:00 am until 2:00 am - plenty of time to connect, even late at night.
Combined Public Communications runs the phone system here. You'll see that name when setting up an account or troubleshooting call time issues.
At booking, new arrestees get a one-time five-minute phone card. That short call is often their first chance to let you know where they are and what they need - so have a pen ready and be prepared to talk about adding more time afterward.
If calls suddenly switch to collect: When an offender doesn’t have time on their phone account, they’ll have to place collect calls instead.
