Unwanted Inmate Phone Calls

Recently the Carroll Couty Sheriff's Office has received several calls from citizens getting inmate calls out of Texas. Some phone systems, like the one used at the Carroll County Jail, are automated, and if you listen carefully to all of the options it gives you have an option to block calls from that facility by pressing a number. However, if this does not work you may need to call one of the following telephone services and request that a block be placed on your phone number.

Correctional billing services 1-800-844-6591
Global Tel-link 1-877-650-4249
AT&T Customer care Service 1-888-815-9102

You may have to call all three places and make this request for a block because all of the calls are not coming from the same jail or correctional facility.

If you receive an unwanted call from an inmate do not accept the call, forward a call or place a three way call for this person, hang up. It could be a scam resulting in you getting unwanted charges on your phone bill.
