Telephone
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.
