The Whitehorse Correctional Centre (WCC), Yukon, Canada gives following procedure for use of telephone by inmate from its facilities:
Inmate Phone Procedures
- Inmates may use the phones in the dormitories, Remand, and the Reception Unit from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, and 8 a.m.-11 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and evenings prior to statutory holidays.
- Telephone calls will be limited to 10 minutes and inmates will be normally permitted one personal phone call each day.
- Telephone calls to lawyers or for the purpose of securing money to pay fines or secure bail will be permitted in addition to the daily personal call.
- Inmates cannot receive incoming telephone calls.
- Messages will only be taken for inmates if the caller is phoning long distance or in a family emergency. The best way to get a message to an inmate is to drop off a note to the Centre.
The Superintendent is authorized to conduct monitoring of conversations in order to obtain a certain degree of control over an inmate's communication in the interest of the safety and security in the Institution.
Making Long Distance Calls
- Inmates pay for long distance phone calls either by reversing the charges (calling collect), charging them to a calling card or charging them to their WCC trust account.
- Calling cards may be purchased through Canteen.
- Because of the programming restrictions placed on inmate phones, some long distance calling cards cannot be used at WCC. WCC may be contacted for more information.
