CFRC-MAIN

Visiting at CFRC‑MAIN starts with approval. The inmate must add you to their approved visiting list, and the Bureau of Prisons must clear you before any visit is authorized. This usually requires completing the BP‑A0629 visitor form, which includes an Authorization to Release Information and your signature. If you don't provide the requested information, processing can be suspended. Once on Bureau grounds, you implicitly consent to searches. Visiting areas (including restrooms) may be monitored for security. Weapons, explosives, drugs, cameras, recording equipment, phones, and other electronic devices are prohibited. A dress code is enforced—violations can mean a denied visit. Visits are generally scheduled on weekends and holidays. Inmates are entitled to at least four hours per month, limited physical contact is allowed in good taste, and conjugal visits are not permitted.

CFRC‑MAIN offers TRULINCS electronic messaging, but it's strictly text-only. Messages are capped at 13,000 characters, and attachments aren't allowed. All messages are screened, and using the system requires consent to monitoring. Before you can exchange messages, the incarcerated person must approve their TRULINCS account and individually approve each contact. TRULINCS is funded entirely through the Inmate Trust Fund (commissary, telephone services, and TRULINCS fees)—not taxpayer dollars. Phone calls from the facility are monitored, though unmonitored attorney calls are permitted in certain circumstances. The TRUFONE calling system retains call-related data, including telephone numbers, voice biometric information, and call recordings.

Mail rules at CFRC‑MAIN (FL) are built around two categories: general and special correspondence. General mail is opened and inspected by staff. Special incoming mail must be opened in the inmate's presence. Packages from home are restricted—don't send anything without prior written approval. Items from home are generally limited to release clothing and authorized medical devices unless otherwise authorized. To avoid delays or rejected mail, write the inmate's full name and booking/ID number clearly on every envelope. Include your full return name and address too. I recommend sending copies instead of irreplaceable originals, and checking whether mail is scanned or delivered electronically before mailing anything original.

CFRC‑MAIN accepts electronic deposits through MoneyGram ExpressPayment. Funds are received seven days a week. If you send money between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST, it typically posts within 2–4 hours. When setting up the payment, enter the inmate's Account Number as the eight‑digit register number (no spaces) immediately followed by their last name. Use receive code 7932. Other deposit options (online portal, kiosk, phone, or mail) and vendor fees can vary, so follow the vendor's instructions closely. Double-check the inmate's ID details and include required contact information so payments process correctly.
