Incoming calls to inmates are not allowed at any of our facilities. An inmate may place an outbound call using the inmate telephone service provided through PCS Telecom. Pre-paid accounts can be set up through PCS Daily Dial to pay for calls placed by an inmate. These pre-paid accounts eliminate the blocked call problems that can occur when a collect call is placed from inside one of our correctional facilities to your phone.
