Inmate Telephone System

 

Telephones used by our inmates and detainees to make phone calls are provided by a contractor. The current phone contractor is Securus Technologies. All calls made by Hampton Roads Regional Jail inmates and detainees are collect. You may have to set up a pre-pay account required if your telephone company doesn’t allow inmate billing.

To set it up, call the Securus Technologies help line at 1-800-844-6591. The cost of a local call is $1.50 plus any collect charges your phone provider may charge. Other rates vary with long distance and extended area calls.


Friends & Family with advanced pre-pay

An AdvanceConnect™ account is a friend & family-owned prepaid calling account that allows you to receive collect calls from inmates/offenders and have the charges deducted automatically from your prepaid account. Our prepaid AdvanceConnect account puts you in control of your spending and ensures you can receive calls from correctional facilities.

Inmate phone service will be restricted if you attempt, or the inmate / detainee requests you to make a 3-way telephone call.

 

Please Keep in Mind:

  • That all inmate telephone calls are recorded and subject to monitoring.
  • Do not make 3-way telephone calls with an inmate on the line. A 3-way telephone call is a call where you include a third party in the phone call by conferencing them in to your call. If we detect that you have made a 3-way call, we will block your number from receiving any inmate phone calls for a period of 90 days.
