The Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office has announced expanded communication services for incarcerated individuals, made possible through a partnership with Ally Telecom Group.

The prepaid calling service allows inmates to stay connected with family and friends. While incoming calls are not permitted, loved ones can leave voicemail messages for approved inmates. Telephone access is granted to each inmate following the completion of the booking process.

In addition to phone calls, the service now offers video visitation, messaging, and the ability to send approved pictures. Officials note these options are faster, easier, and more cost-effective than traditional mail.

Families can fund video visits and messaging by creating an NCIC Inmate Telephone account at http://www.NCIC.com.
