Prisoners in Washington can now dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline from phones and tablets inside all state prison facilities.

The Washington Department of Corrections said Monday that access to the hotline will connect prisoners with around-the-clock mental health counselors to support anyone having thoughts of suicide, mental health crises, emotional distress or substance use concerns.
