Choices for inmate telephone service in jails

By Alex Watts


Some of the options that can be availed by inmates to call their families are Correctional Billing Services and Offender Connect, among others. The website www.correctional billing will give you all details regarding the kinds of account that they provide for inmate calling. You can opt for the traditional collect account or for a Direct Bill one. An Advance connect account can also be set up. This company is a part of Securus Technologies and you can set up an account very easily, as they also offer the option of multiple numbers with the Advance account.

Legal counselors can be contacted by the inmate by setting up a Direct Bill account. This type of account enables calls being made to social workers and also to government agencies. You can also set up a traditional collect calling account, but there is a limit of 90 days. You will have to make payment when you receive the usual local telephone bill along with surcharges for the collect calls. This can turn out to be more expensive. You can visit the website www.correctional billing and know more about the different ways for payment in case of the traditional collect account for those whose account has been barred for crossing limits.

The Advance connect account allows the inmate to call more than the spending limit. Here, the payment can be made through a credit or debit card or through a personal check account at www.correctional billing site. A cashier's check or money order can also be used.

Those prisoners wishing to call their loved ones can also do so through offenderconnect.com, which is another inmate telephone service provider. The website has a very friendly interface. Here too, you can list a number of telephone numbers which the inmate can contact. Moreover, it is also possible to send emails to the inmate. Establishing an account through offender connect.com is simple. You have to give your name and put in the money into the account for creating a prepaid account.

Check out the states and then visit the offenderconnect.com website to select the state first and then verify whether your particular institution is a participating facility of their company.
