How to Talk to an Inmate

Talking on the phone to an inmate is important. Inmates have access to a telephone system to talk to civilians. Inmates will need a pin number to be able to call and message.

Inmates can make long distance phone calls. A message system is in place, so that inmates know when someone has called them, so they can call them back.

If you don’t want an inmate to call you, you’ll need to call the state prison in which the person is calling from. From there, they’ll be able to stop the prisoner from calling you.
