How Often Can Inmates at Lincoln Correctional Center Call?

Phone access at Lincoln Correctional Center generally follows the standard schedule common to most state facilities, with phones available during waking hours from roughly 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. There are periodic breaks throughout the day, and access can be restricted at any time at staff discretion for reasons that are not always communicated to families.

Unlike the federal system, which caps inmates at 300 minutes per month, state facilities like Lincoln often do not impose a hard monthly minute limit. That means your inmate can call as often as they want as long as they have money in their account to cover the cost. How frequently they actually call comes down to their schedule, available phone time at the unit level, and their account balance.

One thing worth considering is the cost of those calls. Long distance rates through prison phone systems add up quickly, especially with no monthly minute cap in place. InmateAid's discount telephone service provides a local phone number that forwards to your existing phone. Your inmate dials a local number instead of a long distance one, and the per-minute rate drops significantly. Over the course of a sentence that difference in cost is substantial.

If you have specific questions about Lincoln's phone schedule or policies, calling the facility directly is the most reliable way to get current information, as schedules can change.
