Visitation via the ICSolutions software for the Wisconsin DOC is now available at all WIDOC facilities.
Scheduling offsite visits is now available at all WIDOC sites via your ICS account. Depending on the visitation available at a site, in-person visits will require scheduling through ICS software.
All visitors must create an account or register their specific party ID to participate in visitation sessions scheduled through ICSolutions' software. Visitors can register at icsolutions.com.
Persons in the care of DOC will provide the family and friends with their specific party ID. Those registered for visitation at MSDF, the party ID has already been added to the account.
ICSolutions is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the scheduling software for in-person visiting. You will only be allowed to schedule up to 5 adults and up to 4 minors for a total of 6 visitors at one time. Please review the list for the number of visitors that will be allowed for a site visit before ARRIVING at the site. Should the number of visitors surpasses the number of visitors the site allows, some visitors may be denied entrance even if they are listed on the scheduled visits. All visitors must be on the PIOC’s approved DOC visitor list.
** PLEASE ALLOW THE SYSTEM 12 HRS TO UPDATE AFTER CREATING YOUR ACCOUNT WITH ICS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SCHEDULE A VISIT **

This site provides information on how to receive calls from inmates at the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WIDOC).
WIDOC has contracted with ICS Corrections, Inc. to provide calling and account billing services to inmates. Recipients of these calls may include friends, relatives, and attorneys.
Called parties can establish and fund prepaid calling accounts by phone or internet. Called parties can make payments directly to an inmate's calling account, or take advantage of a Prepaid Collect calling plan to accommodate calls to cell phones or accounts with credit issues.
Provided through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions, Prepaid Collect allows you to receive inmate calls to your specific phone number.
No monthly spending limits.
Calls can be completed to cell phones, internet phone services, or other services which do not provide Traditional Collect billing.
Or call 888-506-8407.
Money Orders and Cashier's Checks also accepted by mail.
Note: If you accept a call from a WIDOC inmate and have not already established a Prepaid Collect Service, you will receive one complimentary 60-second call and then automatically be given the opportunity to set up an account with a customer service agent.
Available only to attorneys and bondsmen, Direct Bill enables high volume customers to pay for calls using a separate monthly bill.
Call 800-464-8957.
Provided through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions, debit enables you to directly fund a calling account for an inmate.
Debit calling can be used by the inmate to call any number approved by their facility.

You do not need to contact anyone prior to receiving a call from a WIDOC inmate. However, inmates must first submit a Personal Allowed Number (PAN) form and receive approval from DOC personnel prior to attempting a call to any individual number. Once your number is approved, you may begin receiving phone calls using any of the three payment methods described below.
A Prepaid Collect account can be easily set up after receiving the first call from a WI DOC inmate. During the first call, you will receive 60 seconds of complimentary talk time and then be given the opportunity to set up an account with a customer service representative. Alternatively, accounts can be set up through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions at 888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com.
A Debit (Inmate-Paid) account is a convenient alternative for friends and family to deposit funds directly into inmates' calling accounts. Debit account service is available through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions at 888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com. Debit phone time can also be purchased directly by inmates using funds from their inmate banking/trust account.
Yes. If your number is on the inmates approved number list, you may accept calls on your cell phone by setting up a Prepaid Collect account through ICS Corrections' billing agent ICSolutions, by simply following the prompts during your first accepted call or by contacting them at 888-506-8407 or www.icsolutions.com.
Debit calling also allows for calls to cell phones.

When you receive a call from WIDOC inmates, you will be given the option to refuse that call. Additionally, you will be given the option to block all future calls from WIDOC. If a called party blocks their phone number in error, they should call customer service at 888-506-8407 to remove the block.
The Inmates complete a concern form provided by WIDOC and place it into a drop box for resolution.
The following restrictions may be applied by the WIDOC to inmate calls:
Calls can disconnect for a variety of reasons including:
Many telephone services do not have a billing agreement with ICS Corrections to allow you to receive a collect call. For example, cell phone and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers do not offer Traditional Collect billing options.
For Prepaid Collect customers, please call 888-506-8407. Our representatives can investigate technical problems with your phone call, including listening to the call recording to determine the cause. If it is determined that the problem was not caused by another external factor (for example, a bad cell phone connection), our Customer Care Representative can credit phone services back to the account that was used for the call.
