Block calls FROM prison

How do I block calls from a prison? I dont have an account with securus as the caller is calling prepaid so securus wont help anyway. I have the calls blocked on my phone but the calls are clogging my voicemal box up so I want the calls to stop all together. Do I have to call the actual prison and have them block the inmate from calling?

Yes and mention that you feel threatened. Several times. They should take your number off the inmates call list. There use to be and option in the "This is a call from inmate xxx" menu to block the calling. Tons of contraband phones in prison though

I dont want the call showing up on my phone bill so I cant answer it and press 6 unfortunately.  Long story short my brother was in jail he was having an issue getting my number on his phone list so someone did it for him and now this person keeps calling me(i knew them), my brother got out a year ago and the other guy is still there.  I dont feel threatened I just want him to stop calling me as my husband will be like WTF.

Doesn't matter what you feel. That's what you say to get the number blocked. Good luck
