Utah Inmate Communication Overview

Utah operates its state prison system through the Utah Department of Corrections (UDOC). Securus Technologies handles phone calls at Utah state correctional facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net to set up an account. Utah is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. The Utah state correctional system is centralized with the Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City being the primary intake and classification center opened in 2022.

The UDOC number is required for all mail and communication accounts at Utah state facilities. Use the UDOC offender search at corrections.utah.gov to find the UDOC number and current facility. JPay handles money deposits to Utah inmate trust accounts. Utah county jails use their own phone vendors independently from UDOC state facilities. Salt Lake County Metro Jail uses its own contracted provider separate from Securus UDOC accounts.

Visitor applications at Utah state facilities require background checks and take several weeks. All non-privileged calls at UDOC facilities are monitored and recorded. Three-way calling and call forwarding are prohibited. For federal inmates in Utah, use CorrLinks for messaging and ConnectNetwork for phone calls which are separate federal systems not covered by any state program.

Which provider do Utah state prison families use?

Securus Technologies handles phone calls at UDOC Utah state facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. JPay handles money deposits at jpay.com. Use the UDOC offender search at corrections.utah.gov to find the UDOC number. Salt Lake County Metro Jail uses its own vendor separate from UDOC Securus accounts.

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

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

What is the most common mistake Utah prison families make?

Confusing Salt Lake County Metro Jail with UDOC state prisons is very common. The jail uses its own phone vendor while UDOC state prisons use Securus. Setting up a Securus UDOC account to reach someone at Salt Lake County Metro Jail will not work. Always confirm the specific facility type and provider.
