Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Vermilion County Jail handles inmate communications through Securus. Video sessions run through Securus Video Connect, where friends, family, attorneys, and officials can schedule and join web-based visits. Securus states it is not responsible for the quality of your internet connection or your computer, webcam, or hardware setup. Test everything before your scheduled time. For phone calls, Securus offers two options: AdvanceConnect, a prepaid service that lets you add funds to a contact's Securus Debit account, and Direct Bill, which sends monthly bills and requires a credit check to qualify. To get started with either service, create an account with the approved vendor, complete any required verification, schedule through the site or app, and log in a few minutes early. Keep in mind that all communications are subject to monitoring and recording.
