Phone Call Costs at Scotts Bluff County Detention Center: What You'll Actually Pay (and What's Prohibited)
Phone calls at Scotts Bluff County Detention Center run on a prepaid system with a straightforward per-minute rate. Here's what you can expect to pay, where calls originate inside the jail, and which phone behaviors are prohibited.
Scotts Bluff County Detention Center uses NCIC Inmate Communications for its prepaid calling service. You won't be calling in to reach your loved one. Instead, you'll set things up and add funds from the outside so they can call you. To add money to an inmate account, you can use Access Corrections 24/7. Live bilingual agents are also available around the clock at 866-345-1884.
Heads up: The facility does not allow incoming calls to inmates. The only exception is voicemail messages sent to approved inmates.
Calls from this facility (local, long distance, and international) are billed at a per-minute rate with no connection fees. So your total cost comes down to two things: how long you talk and whether the call is domestic or international.
- ✓ Calls within the United States: $0.21 per minute
- ✓ Calls to Mexico and Canada: $0.25 per minute
- ✓ Other international calls: $0.35 per minute
Your loved one places calls from inside the housing areas. Telephones for private use are located in each housing area, and inmates get access to the phones once the booking process is complete.
Calls can also come from handheld tablets when those are available. If you notice calls coming in that look different from the housing phone number you're used to, this is likely why.
Prohibited: Three-way calls are not allowed from facility phones.
Keep calls straightforward and one-to-one. The detention center specifically prohibits three-way calls, and inmates cannot receive incoming calls (voicemail messages to approved inmates are the only exception). If you need to loop someone else in on information from the call, handle that separately rather than trying to merge people together or create a workaround.
