What Is Case Manager?
A case manager is a correctional staff member assigned to each inmate who is responsible for managing their programming, classification, correspondence, and release planning. Case managers are the primary point of contact for inmates who need to add someone to their approved contact list, request certified mail approval, or address issues with their communication accounts. Case manager approval is sometimes required for money deposits above certain amounts.
An inmate needs to add a new family member to their approved phone contact list. They submit a request to their case manager, who reviews the application and adds the approved number to the system within a week.
