How to Call an Inmate
Inmates at the Riverside County Jail cannot receive incoming phone calls. However, they have access to phones and can make outgoing collect calls from the inmate housing area.
California law has established the right of an arrested person to make at least three free local telephone calls upon being booked: one call to an attorney, one to a bail bond agent, and one to a relative or other personal contact. Phone calls are recorded and may be monitored at any time.
How to Send Money
Inmate deposits can be added to a resident’s account via the internet at AccessCorrections.com, by telephone, or via lobby kiosk at any one of the Riverside correctional facilities.
To make an inmate deposit via the internet, customers must register online. An inmate deposit cannot be completed unless a profile has been established and the Terms and Conditions have been accepted.
Cash transactions for inmate deposits are only accepted at Access Secure Deposits lobby kiosk locations. Kiosks will not accept coins or $1 bills. Kiosks will not make change for large bills.
