Cell phone Calls for Inmates in Louisiana

By Elmer Richardson


Many big correctional facilities provide their inmates with calling facilities such as VAC of America phone service with a fully automated inmate calling service called Focus 100. The receiver of the call is given all details of the call such as the call type, charges, name of the offender, the facility and the called party is free to accept or refuse the call. Value Added Communications provides a voice prompt which is very user-friendly and easily guides the caller and the called during the call. The recorded name of the inmate, which the PIN stores, is played back at the start of the conversation.

There are special search and recording features offered by VAC of America phone service which provides full safety to the jail and also provides them with increased revenue by allowing calls that were previously denied as unbillable numbers. Call location is also possible and they give protection to inmates in the form of record-prevention of protected calls to attorneys and so on.

In the Louisiana correctional institute, the inmates are offered access to call their family or friends to an extent. Collect calls are provided to them which should not exceed 15 minutes but calls cannot be made to their phones. The called party is given information regarding the originating facility along with the name of the inmate and they can either accept or reject the call.

You can use Tel-link for collect calls on cell phone in Louisiana, for those who have a friend or loved one in correctional institutes of Louisiana DOC. Through their services, the offender is allowed by the department to call approved cell phone numbers under specific guidelines. The family member or called party can set up an account with Global Tel-link for collect calls and also provide their primary residence information. However, calls to prepaid cell phones are not allowed.

Inmates' families can use Tel-Link for collect calls on cell phone in Louisiana and give them their cell phone number for receiving calls from the incarcerated relative. This number must be approved by the jail and the call rates are fixed and contracted. These can be reduced if the Federal Communications Commission or the Louisiana Public Service commission mandates it. The calls are generally allowed in the evening, night or at weekends.
