Maine Inmate Communication Overview

Maine operates its state prison system through the Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC). Securus Technologies handles phone calls at Maine state correctional facilities including Maine State Prison in Warren. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. Maine is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. The Maine DOC number is required for all mail and communication accounts at Maine state facilities.

Use the Maine DOC offender search at maine.gov/corrections to find the DOC number and current facility. JPay handles money deposits to Maine state inmate trust accounts. Maine county jails use their own phone vendors. Cumberland County Jail in Portland uses its own contracted provider. Penobscot County Jail in Bangor uses its own vendor. Always confirm the specific provider for each county facility before setting up any account.

Maine state facilities include Maine State Prison in Warren, Maine Correctional Center in Windham, and several other facilities. All non-privileged calls are monitored and recorded. Three-way calling is prohibited. Visitor applications require background checks. For federal inmates in Maine use CorrLinks for messaging and ConnectNetwork for calls which are separate federal systems.

Which provider do Maine state prison families use?

Securus Technologies handles phone calls at Maine DOC state facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. JPay handles money deposits at jpay.com. Use the Maine DOC offender search at maine.gov/corrections to find the DOC number. Maine county jails use their own separate vendors.

What is the Maine DOC number and how do I find it?

The DOC number is the identification number assigned to every person in Maine DOC custody. You need it for Securus and JPay account setup and for all mail. Find it through the Maine DOC offender search at maine.gov/corrections or ask your loved one. It is different from any court case number or county booking number.

What is the most common mistake Maine prison families make?

Not knowing that county jails use different providers than state prisons is very common. Cumberland County in Portland and Penobscot County in Bangor each use their own vendors separate from Securus MDOC state accounts. Always confirm the specific facility type and provider before setting up accounts.
