Can I make a phone call to someone being held at the Roanoke County / Salem Jail?

Inmates are not allowed to receive incoming calls. Inmates are only allowed to make outgoing collect calls. However, the jail does not limit the number of calls they can make during normal hours of operation. If you do not wish to receive collect calls from an inmate, simply refuse to accept the charges or call the jail docket office at (540)283-3145 and request that a block be placed on your phone number.

Inmates may be allowed to communicate by text using a jail-issued tablet.
