Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Communication at FCI Greenville is tightly controlled. Phone calls are monitored—you'll see a notice posted next to each phone. Unmonitored calls to attorneys are allowed in certain circumstances, but third-party or alternative calling arrangements aren't permitted. The facility uses TRUFONE for live and remote monitoring of approved calls, including collecting law-enforcement intelligence from communications. For electronic messages, the inmate must have TRULINCS access approved, and you must consent as a contact before exchanging messages. All messages are screened, monitored, and limited to 13,000 characters. Since setup and verification can vary by vendor, create an account with the facility's approved communications vendor and complete any identity checks before scheduling video or messaging sessions.
