NCIC Inmate Communications deploys secure, corrections-grade handheld tablets to incarcerated individuals in county detention centers. Operating on a secure internal wireless network, these devices allow inmates to conduct remote video visits, make voice telephone calls, send electronic messages, stream music, read eBooks, and access self-help and educational resources directly from their housing pods.
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.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Support and Fund NCIC Tablets
- Verify that NCIC handheld tablets are active at your loved one's specific detention facility.
- Navigate to account.ncic.com on your computer or mobile device.
- Sign into your verified user account and link the inmate's legal name and booking ID number.
- Select Tablet Media / Messaging or Inmate PIN Debit to add funds to their available balance.
- Specify your deposit dollar amount, review convenience fees, and enter your credit or debit card billing details.
- Submit payment, save your confirmation receipt, and notify your loved one that their device balance is available.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate unlocks their assigned tablet using their PIN or biometric login. Their available balance appears on the screen, allowing them to download songs, read digital books, write messages, and communicate with approved family members. Devices are returned to charging carts during quiet hours and shift counts for overnight recharging.
