Kansas Inmate Communication Overview

Kansas operates its state prison system through the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC). ICSolutions is the phone provider for most KDOC state facilities. Contact ICSolutions at 888-506-8407 or visit icscorrections.com to set up an account. Kansas is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. All calls are monitored and recorded except attorney calls. The KDOC number is required for all communication accounts and mail sent to Kansas state facilities.

Kansas county and city jails use their own phone vendors independently from KDOC state prisons. Johnson County Detention Center near Kansas City uses Securus Technologies. Sedgwick County Jail in Wichita uses a separately contracted provider. Always confirm the specific provider for each county facility before setting up any account. Money can be deposited to KDOC inmate trust accounts through JPay at jpay.com.

Use the KDOC offender search at doc.ks.gov to find the KDOC number and current facility location. Visitor applications at KDOC state prisons require a background check and take two to four weeks to process. All visitors must be on the approved visitor list before any in-person or video visit is permitted.

Which provider do Kansas state prison families use?

ICSolutions handles phone calls at most KDOC Kansas state facilities. Contact ICSolutions at 888-506-8407 or visit icscorrections.com. JPay handles money deposits at jpay.com. Use the KDOC offender search at doc.ks.gov to find the KDOC number and current facility. Johnson County Detention Center near Kansas City uses Securus, not ICSolutions.

What is the KDOC number and how do I find it?

The KDOC number is the identification number assigned to every person in Kansas DOC custody. You need it for ICSolutions and JPay account setup and for all mail. Find it through the KDOC offender search at doc.ks.gov or ask your loved one to provide it. The KDOC number is different from any court case number.

What is the most common mistake Kansas prison families make?

Using the wrong provider for county jails is very common. ICSolutions serves most KDOC state prisons but Kansas county jails use different vendors. Johnson County Detention Center near Kansas City uses Securus. Families who set up ICSolutions accounts for Johnson County will not be able to receive calls. Always confirm the specific provider for each county facility.
