Inmate Communication Policy
|
The following policy controls inmate communication by telephone and by mail.
Telephone:
-
Telephones are provided to inmates for their use on a collect only basis through Pay-Tel Communications.
-
In addition to collect calls, inmates may purchase telephone calling cards through the commissary program for $10.00 each.
-
To stop an inmate from calling, please call Pay-Tel Communications at 1-800-PAY-TELL and advise them you want your number blocked. You may also choose not to accept a call that is placed to you on a one-time-basis by selecting the appropriate selection once you hear the initial message when an inmate calls.
Mail:
-
Inmates may send and receive mail.
-
Photographs, drawings, and news clippings are normally acceptable as long as they are not inappropriate.
-
Mail is received Monday through Saturday (excluding holidays) from the Post Office.
-
Incoming mail is opened and checked for contraband prior to being delivered to an inmate. All legal mail is opened in the presence of the inmate and checked for contraband prior to the inmate receiving it.
-
Inmates may receive money orders through the mail. Cash will not be accepted in the mail and will be treated as contraband.
-
Inmates may purchase envelopes and writing materials through the canteen service; indigent inmates may order these materials, on a routine schedule with costs being debited from their accounts.
-
To expedite delivery to the inmate, all inmate mail received at the facility should be addressed as follows:
