Phone Calls from an Inmate
Phones are located in the cellblocks for their use. Inmate may inform family/friend of whereabouts through a recorded message, if they have no funds. Inmate may purchase communication data with funds from their commissary account, allowing them to make a personal call. Calls are limited to 15 minutes per call. The inmate will need to redial each time the conversation is terminated. To set up an account, visit their website.
