Residents are permitted telephone privileges to make collect/pre-paid calls. Residents are not permitted to receive telephone calls. Every new number that a resident requests be added to the resident’s approved call list must be verified and activated before the resident is allowed to call. 

Residents have access to coinless telephones at various times throughout the day during yard periods. Each living unit also has specified periods when residents are allowed to make phone calls during the evening hours. 

Please note that Resident telephone calls, except for attorney calls, may be subject to monitoring and recording in accordance with KAR 44-2-102 (c).

After hours or on weekends and holidays, verified emergencies will be passed on to the resident at the earliest possible time.
