Can I talk with an inmate on the telephone?

According to Nebraska statutes, an inmate's access to a telephone is a privilege granted to those inmates who demonstrate a willingness to obey the rules and regulations of the Gage County Detention Center.

Telephones used by inmates can only make outgoing calls.  These phones cannot receive calls.  Calls made from inmate telephones that are not local will be either collect or made with prepaid calling cards.

Access to telephones may be suspended at any time for any reason by custody staff.

Phone numbers may be blocked so that inmates cannot call those numbers.  These blocks may be due to restraining order, harrasment complaints, potential victim or witness intimidation, or violation of laws.

If there is a need to contact an inmate regarding a family emergency or other situation, please call the Gage County Sheriff's Office at 402-223-5222.
