Lee County Jail Inmate Communication Overview
Lee County Jail is the county detention facility in Fort Myers, Florida, operated by the Lee County Sheriff's Office. It houses pretrial and sentenced inmates from across Lee County and serves as the county's main intake facility. The jail books new arrests around the clock and holds a large daily population from the Fort Myers area.
Inmate phone calls at Lee County Jail run through GTL's ConnectNetwork system. Families can set up an AdvancePay prepaid account so the inmate can call them, or fund a PIN debit account tied to the inmate's commissary funds. Inmates cannot receive incoming calls, so a funded account is required before the inmate can call out.
All calls are monitored and recorded except legal communications. Because phone and any video or messaging options may run through different systems, families should confirm the current providers on the sheriff's inmate information page before funding accounts. For the fastest answers about a specific inmate, use the sheriff's online inmate search.
