It is generally possible to call and talk to someone who is incarcerated in a correctional facility.

To speak with someone in jail, you would typically need to follow these steps:

1. Obtain the necessary information: Gather the correct and complete details of the correctional facility where the person is incarcerated. This includes the facility’s name, the inmate’s full name, and any other required information such as inmate ID or number.
2. Contact the correctional facility: Obtain the contact information for the facility, which is often available on their website or through online directories. Call the facility’s main phone number and ask to be connected to the appropriate department handling inmate phone calls.
3. Inquire about phone call procedures: Speak with the staff or department responsible for inmate communication at the correctional facility. Inquire about the procedures for making phone calls to inmates and any specific requirements or restrictions in place.
4. Set up an account or provide authorization: Depending on the facility, you may need to set up an account or provide authorization to receive phone calls from inmates. Follow the facility’s instructions and provide any necessary information to establish communication.
5. Receive the call: Once you have fulfilled the necessary requirements and are authorized to receive calls, you should be able to receive a phone call from the inmate. Ensure that you are available to answer the call during approved calling times or as specified by the correctional facility.

The specific procedures and policies for inmate phone calls can vary between correctional facilities and jurisdictions.
