Reliance Telephone provides secure, corrections-grade handheld tablets designed for county jails and regional detention centers across the upper Midwest. Through these portable units, incarcerated individuals can exchange text messages with family, place voice phone calls, conduct scheduled video visits, stream approved entertainment, read eBooks, and access self-help materials directly from their living areas.
Important: Tablet Hardware Deployment and Rental Rules Vary
Detention centers do not manage tablet distribution identically. While some agencies issue individual personal tablets to every detainee at booking, others utilize shared pod docking stations or restrict tablet use to specific dayroom hours, which you should confirm with the facility directly. Although core educational and legal resources are generally provided free of charge, sending messages, listening to music, or making phone calls from the tablet requires an active balance funded by outside contacts.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

Their active wallet balance appears on the home screen, allowing them to download songs, read digital books, write messages, and communicate with approved family members. Devices are returned to charging racks during facility count times and for overnight storage.
