How to send messages, photos, and packages
Valdosta State Prison uses Securus for phone services. You'll need to set up either a prepaid collect account or a direct-bill account through Securus online or by calling 1-800-844-6591. Deposits are capped at $200.00 per transaction. A few things to know: calls may be monitored and recorded, and features like call forwarding or three-way calling aren't allowed. Each call is limited to 25 minutes, and inmates can only dial numbers on their Call Allow List. Set up and verify your Securus account before expecting calls or using any paid services. Rules, schedules, and fees can vary, so confirm details when creating your account.
