How To Contact An Inmate Section
To start phone communication, enroll with a facility’s approved provider (like Securus or ViaPath/GTL). To avoid expensive long-distance rates—sometimes as high as $14/min—use a supplemental service such as GlobalTel or SecurTel. This combination can significantly lower your per-minute cost.

How To Lower Your Jail Call Costs Section
Jail and prison calls often include extra fees, and long-distance rates can be steep. You can typically save by using two services together: the facility’s required provider plus a supplemental service that gives you a local number. The inmate dials the local number, and the call is routed to your long-distance phone at local rates.
Families report saving hundreds to thousands per year, making it more affordable to stay in regular contact. This connection is a key factor in maintaining family stability and supporting successful reentry.
How Much Do Inmate Calls Cost?
Costs vary by facility and distance. Some facilities have charged up to $14/min for long-distance calls. Supplemental services (like GlobalTel or SecurTel) help by creating a local phone number for the inmate to call, which reduces the per-minute rate. Check your facility’s rules and pricing, then compare supplemental options to find the best savings.
How To Send Mail To An Inmate Section
Facilities have strict mail rules that can delay delivery, especially sealed letters that must be opened and inspected. Postcards are often processed faster and are easier for kids and busy family members to send.
Photo postcards help you share everyday moments, school, holidays, family updates, so calls feel natural and connected, even when schedules don’t align.
