How to send messages, photos, and packages
Rhode Island DOC (RIDOC) provides an automated Securus phone line for inmate and facility information at 401-414-2871. Need to add money to an incarcerated person's account? RIDOC lists Access Secure Deposits (AccessCorrections) as the deposit vendor, with both web and phone options. RIDOC treats visits (in person or video) as a privilege that can be approved, denied, suspended, or revoked by administration. For phone calls and video visits, follow the third-party service instructions for scheduling, apps, recording rules, and approved phone lists. Calls are typically recorded, except attorney calls. Attorneys arranging depositions must obtain a court order or stipulation and forward it to RIDOC's Office of Legal Counsel using RIDOC's submission instructions.
