Contact an Inmate: Mail, Email and Phone (Colorado DOC)

Colorado DOC's contact page is the single reference for writing to and calling someone in state custody. Mail must show the commitment name, DOC number, facility address and a valid return address, and under AR 300-38 all non-legal mail at every state and private facility is now photocopied, with the copy delivered and the original destroyed; legal mail is also photocopied at fourteen named facilities using a copier with its memory disabled. Securus eMessaging delivers one-way messages to tablets. Incarcerated people cannot receive calls and may only dial approved numbers; participating in three-way calling can suspend a number from the list for up to 30 days per incident. The contracted Securus rate is $0.019 a minute, reduced 25 percent to $0.01425 under HB23-1133. The page also explains emergency notifications and escorted leave under AR 300-17.
