Yes, InmateAid can work with San Jacinto County Jail, but it is important to understand how it works.

InmateAid is not something the jail “uses” directly. Instead, it works alongside the jail’s existing phone system to help reduce costs.

Here is how it works:

  • The jail has its own phone provider that handles all inmate calls
  • InmateAid gives you a local phone number that matches the jail’s area
  • Your loved one calls that number as a local call instead of long distance

What this means for you:

  • You will still use the jail’s phone system
  • You will still need to set up and fund an account with their provider
  • InmateAid helps lower the cost per call, it does not replace the system

If your number is considered long distance from that jail, using a local number can save a significant amount on each call.

So yes, it will work there, but as a cost-saving tool, not a separate communication system.
