Beginning May 14, 2025, all completed calls are subject to a 15-minute wait period before another call can be made. All calls are still free for both incarcerated people and the community. This wait time is in place to prevent people from monopolizing the phones so that everyone has opportunities to speak to their loved ones.

MCF-Rush City houses up to 1,000 adult males in a high-security setting. MCF-Rush City opened in 2000 and is the DOC's newest facility.
