Understanding Phone Call Limits and Prepaid Options at Pierce County Jail
Phone calls are one of the main ways to stay connected with someone at Pierce County Jail. Here's how the system works, what limits apply, and how prepaid options can help you manage costs.
Phones at Pierce County Jail are located in each housing unit. Your loved one can use them during set hours based on that unit's schedule. Since phones are shared, availability depends on what's happening in the unit and how many people are waiting.
No incoming calls: People in custody at Pierce County Jail cannot receive incoming phone calls. Calls have to be made from the jail.
Calls from the jail can last up to 20 minutes. If you get disconnected, the call likely hit the time limit. Your loved one will need to call back when they're able.
All phone calls from Pierce County Jail are recorded and may be monitored. Keep that in mind when you talk. What you say on the line can be captured as part of the facility's system.
Attorney calls: Attorney calls are the only exception to recording and monitoring, and they are also the only exception to the 20-minute call limit.
Want to keep phone costs down? Prepaid accounts are worth considering. Pierce County Jail notes that prepaid accounts have a lower per-minute rate than regular collect calls.
You can set up a prepaid account two ways: tied to a specific phone number or tied to a specific inmate. If you link it to a phone number, that account will accept all non-blocked collect calls from anyone at Pierce County Jail.
- ✓ Purchase a prepaid account through Securus Customer Service using a debit or credit card.
- ✓ Have your loved one purchase prepaid minutes through commissary using funds in their inmate account.
- ✓ Add money to an inmate’s telephone account by calling 1-800-844-6591, or add funds online.
