How to Contact an Inmate at Pasco County Detention, FL (FL)

Phone calls and tablet time at Pasco County Detention aren't funded the way you might expect. The inmate needs to transfer money from their commissary account into a separate phone account before they can use those services. Having funds in commissary alone isn't enough. If they haven't made the transfer, calls and paid tablet features won't work.

Costs add up quickly, so know the rate going in. Inmate phone calls are $0.16 per minute, plus tax.

Note: The details here are limited to how calling and tablet time are funded and the per-minute phone rate. For anything beyond that, confirm the current process directly with the facility.

How to Contact an Inmate at Pasco County Detention, FL (FL)

Steps to Follow

  • Make sure the inmate has funds available in their commissary account.
  • Have the inmate transfer money from commissary to their phone account (this is what pays for phone calls and tablet time).
  • Plan for phone costs at $0.16 per minute, plus tax, so you can budget and avoid surprises.

Running into issues like missed calls, low balances, or tablet access not working? Start with the payment flow. Contact the facility and ask them to walk you through the exact steps the inmate needs to follow to transfer funds from commissary to the phone account. Also ask what payment methods are accepted for loading money into commissary in the first place. It's worth confirming whether tablet time charges pull from that same phone account after the transfer, since that affects how much the inmate needs to move over.

Rate reminder: The phone rate listed is $0.16 per minute, plus tax. Rates and taxes can change, so verify the current total before you rely on it.
