Telephone System Information

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.

Correspondence with an Inmate

CORRESPONDENCE

Incoming mail is normally received Monday - Friday (7:30-3:30) except on weekends and holidays. There is no limit to the volume of mail an inmate may receive, or in the length, language, content or source of letter mail, except where there is clear and convincing evidence to justify a limitation. Incoming mail will be delivered by a staff member within 24 hours after receipt.

All incoming mail is scanned to ensure that NO contraband enters the facility (to list a few):

v  Inappropriate photos

v  cigarettes

v  lighters

v  matches

v  drugs

v  personal checks

Newspapers, magazines, and books will be accepted only if they are mailed directly from the publishing house to the jail.
