Ventura County Sheriff's Department

Location: Ventura County Sheriff’s Detention Facilities
Date & Time: December 16, 2009
Unit Responsible: Detention Services Administration

The Sheriff’s Detention Services Division has changed to a new provider for inmate phone services. The new company, Global Tel-Link (GTL), has just completed installing the new phone system. As of December 16, 2009 phone calls placed by inmates are now being made on the GTL system. The system will work in much the same manner as the previous one, with some important refinements and cost savings to the County. Inmates who have purchased calling cards while in custody will now be able to use the card after they are released.

Anyone with loved ones or friends in custody can continue to set up pre-paid calling accounts by contacting GTL directly at (877) 650-4249 or by going to their website at www.GTL.net. Additional information on the phone system is available on the website.
