Send Mail or Make a Call to an Inmate

Telephone System

The inmate telephone system has been contracted through Global Tel*Link, a national company providing inmate telephone services. The system provides telephones for each dayroom and allows the inmate to make collect telephone calls. Although, inmates are allowed to make collect calls, not all telephone carriers will accept collect calls.

Global Tel*Link has established an Advance Pay Program which will allow the inmates family and friends to set up pre-paid accounts. These accounts allow the person receiving the collect calls to pre-pay. The inmates are also allowed to have pre-paid calling cards that they can purchase from their canteen account.
