Prison Telephone Services

« Back to Glossary Index

Prison inmate telephone communication is heavily restricted and controlled

Prison services, such as being able to place and receive calls, are highly dependent on the rules of each prison facility. 

All prisons have strictly enforced time schedules where prisoners can make calls, usually between 7 am-10 pm. Prisoners can make outgoing calls only, but incoming calls are not allowed.

Prisoners can use pre-paid phone cards or phone accounts set up through third-party vendors.
