Help Me With A Strange Call I Got From A Jail?

I just got a call from a jail and this is the number and the name that appeared on my phone. It was a recording and my husband thought they said my daughters name but thankfully I got a hold of her and she is at home in bed. I thought it strange that I would get a recorded call telling me I need to deposit money so I can talk to the person in jail because first call is usually free. I found out this number is from Dallas Texas and I live in Indiana. Strange also that there is a name and not a county jail. Has anyone heard of anything like this? Broderick Gist 972-280-7286
