Rhode Island Prison Communication Directory

Rhode Island operates its state prison system through the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC). GTL ViaPath Technologies through ConnectNetwork handles phone calls at Rhode Island state correctional facilities. Visit connectnetwork.com or call 877-650-4249 to set up an account. Rhode Island operates a unified correctional system similar to Delaware, Vermont, and Connecticut, meaning the state DOC handles both pretrial detention and sentenced incarceration. There are no traditional county jails in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. The RIDOC number is required for all communication accounts and mail. Use the RIDOC inmate search at doc.ri.gov to find the number and current facility. Rhode Island facilities are concentrated at the Adult Correctional Institutions (ACI) complex in Cranston, which includes Maximum Security, Medium Security, Minimum Security, the Intake Service Center, and the Women's Division.

Since Rhode Island operates a unified system, the same GTL ViaPath ConnectNetwork provider handles all RIDOC facilities regardless of whether someone is in pretrial detention or serving a sentence. JPay handles money deposits to Rhode Island inmate trust accounts. All non-privileged calls are monitored and recorded. Three-way calling is prohibited. For federal inmates in Rhode Island use CorrLinks for messaging and ConnectNetwork for calls which are separate federal systems.
