Delaware Inmate Communication Overview
Delaware operates its state prison system through the Delaware Department of Correction (DDOC). Securus Technologies handles phone calls at Delaware state correctional facilities including Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington, James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna, and Sussex Correctional Institution in Georgetown. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. Delaware is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. Delaware does not have traditional county jails as the state operates a unified correctional system.
Delaware operates a unified correctional system, meaning the state DOC handles both pretrial detention and sentenced incarceration rather than having separate county jails. This is unusual among states and means there is essentially one provider system for the entire state. The DDOC number is required for all mail and communication accounts. Use the DDOC inmate search at doc.delaware.gov to find the DDOC number and current facility.
JPay handles money deposits to Delaware inmate trust accounts. All non-privileged calls are monitored and recorded. Three-way calling is prohibited. Visitor applications require background checks and take several weeks. For federal inmates in Delaware use CorrLinks for messaging and ConnectNetwork for calls which are separate federal systems not covered by any Delaware state program.
Which provider do Delaware state prison families use?
Securus Technologies handles phone calls at all DDOC Delaware state facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. JPay handles money deposits at jpay.com. Use the DDOC inmate search at doc.delaware.gov to find the DDOC number. Delaware operates a unified system with no separate county jails so there is one provider system statewide.
What makes Delaware's correctional system unique?
Delaware operates a unified correctional system where the state DOC handles both pretrial detention and sentenced incarceration. There are no traditional county jails in Delaware. This means families deal with one provider system regardless of whether their loved one is awaiting trial or serving a sentence.
What is the most common mistake Delaware prison families make?
Not knowing the DDOC number before attempting account setup is very common. The DDOC number is different from any court case number. Find it through the DDOC inmate search at doc.delaware.gov before setting up any accounts. Since Delaware has no county jails the DDOC system covers all incarcerated people in the state.
