Call an inmate
To call an inmate in a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) facility, you must create a phone account through Securus.
Calls through Securus may appear as spam. To ensure you don't miss a call from an incarcerated individual, you should either:
- Store the phone number in your phone. If it’s in your contact list, the call will always come through and not be flagged as spam.
- Call your cell phone carrier and advise them that the number is an authorized number to call your phone.
Contact Securus
- Call 800-844-6591
- Send them an email
