Send an Email or Text to an Inmate in the Merced County Main Jail Facility

Merced County Main Jail Facility is now offering or will soon offer secure electronic messaging for their inmates. For more information, scroll down or contact the jail at 209-385-7410.

The email service used by inmates is not directly connected to the internet like a normal email system. Instead, all messages are intercepted by the jail's servers first. This allows staff to review the messages before delivering them to inmates or their contacts.

Inmates can access electronic messages on kiosks in their unit or on tablets provided by a third-party service overseeing the messaging program.

There are several benefits to providing inmates with access to email:

  • It is more affordable than traditional mail.
  • It allows faster communication turnaround.
  • The jail can monitor inmate communications in real time.
  • The jail generates revenue from the service.
  • Inmates value the privilege and are incentivized to follow rules.
  • It prevents contraband from entering the facility through physical mail.
