My husband is in Westville. Has your son been able to call? If not, you must have an account with correctional billing services to allow the collect call to go through (1800-844-6591) You must get approved on his visiting list. Download and print off a visitor form at teh Indiana DOC website (under Westville facility) make sure to fill in all boxes and spaces. It takes about a month to get approved. Once approved, your son can request to have a 2 day visit since you live so far away. He must ask for this special visit. Normally visits are every 12 days, depending on which dorm he is in.anything else just ask. My husband has been there for about 2 years now.

Default Westvile prison mom

I'm a Westville mom also, my son went in October, I don't know much about the prison either, I'm worried about my son. I figured out how to use jpay online and send mail and money. I'm not sure how long it takes to get the cash and letter to inmates. What type of prison is it? I can't sleep at night, maybe I watched to many prison movies. I pray all day and night, is it cheaper to get a home phone and except collect calls or put money on the cells phone, thru correctional billing? I need all the information, that I can get.

Default Indiana Prisons

Well, Indiana prisons can be either harsh or relaxed...my oldest is in Pendleton for 32 years and it's pretty rough...my youngest is at Plainfield for 5 years, and its pretty laid back, I enjoy my visits at Plainfield much better than Pendleton..I don't know much about Westville but I wish the best for your boys.

about the j mail my girl says it has taken as long as 5 days for her to actualy get some of mine and alot of factors come into play as to why so i wont go there. as far as corr. billing had that was surprised that it was reasonably priced. but since im back home in az. not in IN. anymore the home phone way is the cheapest mine are about 3.00 half hour call
