What You Need to Know About Phone Calls from FCI La Tuna
Getting calls from someone at FCI La Tuna? Here's what you should know about the rules, monitoring, and what the phone system tracks.
Phone calls help people at FCI La Tuna stay connected with family and approved contacts. That said, phone access is a privilege - the Bureau of Prisons can limit or restrict it as part of facility management. One rule to know upfront: third-party or alternative call arrangements aren't allowed. This prevents the phone system from being used for criminal activity or other prohibited purposes.
A posted notice next to each phone at FCI La Tuna warns inmates that calls are monitored. Assume routine calls can be listened to and recorded. Plan your conversations accordingly.
Attorney calls work differently. In certain situations, unmonitored calls to attorneys are permitted to protect confidential legal communication.
Note: Calls are monitored - posted notices next to the phones make this clear. Unmonitored attorney calls may be allowed in certain circumstances.
FCI La Tuna uses TRUFONE, and the system captures more than just conversations. It can collect call recordings, the phone numbers on an inmate's approved calling list, voice biometric data (for voice verification), and the inmate's TRUFONE account balance.
Privacy tip: Calls can be recorded and linked to phone numbers and voice verification data. Keep sensitive personal details off the phone unless they absolutely need to be discussed.

- ✓ Don’t use third-party calling (having someone else connect or “patch” the call through)
