How to send messages, photos, and packages
Tipton Correctional Center handles both phone calls and video visits through Securus, so setup, scheduling, and app-based access all go through one provider. Register at securustech.net or call 1-800-844-6591, then create and fund an account (or link a prepaid option) for calls and video. Incarcerated people place outgoing calls using a personal PIN. Calling options include collect, debit, or prepaid minutes depending on how the account is configured. Debit minutes can be purchased by the incarcerated person through commissary or facility kiosks, and you can also add funds through the vendor portal. All phone and video communications are monitored and recorded.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
