Vermont families use YardLink across 2 facilities — covering Vermont DOC sites in Newport (Orleans County) and Springfield (Windsor County). YardLink replaces JPay's and Securus's per-message stamp fees with free letters and photos, so families in Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland, and St. Johnsbury can stay in touch without paying for every message they send.
