Inmate Communication Policy

The following policy controls inmate communication by telephone and by mail.

 

Telephone:

• Telephones are provided to inmates for their use on a collect only basis through https://securustech.net/
• In addition to collect calls, inmates may purchase telephone calling cards through the commissary program.
• You may choose not to accept a call that is placed to you on a one-time-basis by selecting the appropriate selection once you hear the initial message when an inmate calls.

Mail:

Effective 11/08/2019, Personal Mail will no longer be accepted by Pickens County Detention Center.

All Personal Mail must be addressed in the following manner:

Be sure to have the inmate’s name and ID number. Be sure to have the receipt sent to your email address for your records.

Fees for an internet deposit will be as follows:
$10.00-$25.00 - $3.95
