Descripción general

USP Big Sandy uses TRULINCS for text messaging and TRUFONE for phone calls. Both are monitored—TRULINCS requires you to consent to monitoring before using it. Messages through TRULINCS are text-only and capped at 13,000 characters, so longer updates may need splitting. TRUFONE records calls and stores them temporarily, deleting recordings after 180 days or when no longer needed for legal or administrative purposes. The system also collects inmate telephone numbers and biometric voice-verification data. Call records and transaction/balance records get archived annually and deleted ten years later. Unmonitored attorney calls are permitted in certain circumstances. Family members typically need vendor accounts and approved-list registration to use these services.
