Can I call an inmate in county or can they only call me?

The rules everywhere are that the inmate must initiate the call and you will be prompted as to whether you will allow the call to be connected.

The rules everywhere are that the inmate must initiate the call and you will be prompted as to whether you will allow the call to be connected. There are going to be charges connected to saying "yes". If you are going to speak with your inmate for more than once a week, you should look into getting a number from InmateAid to make the calls cheaper.
