Phone calls
Inmates can make collect phone calls only. Inmates are not able to receive incoming calls and jail officers will not pass messages to inmates.
If you can't accept collect calls from an inmate (most mobile phones do not allow you to accept incoming collect calls) you must set up an account with our phone service provider at www.ctel.us or by calling 1-866-430-0561.
If you experience a technical or billing issue, please contact CTel via their website or by phone. Jail Officers are not able to assist.
NOTICE: All phone calls are recorded and subject to monitoring by Jail Officers.
