FCI LORETTO

FCI Loretto follows federal policy requiring visiting hours on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Each inmate gets at least four hours of visiting time per month, though the warden can limit visits when overcrowding or resource issues come up. Visiting is a privilege, and the exact rules, visit types, and availability can vary by housing unit and custody status. Unit-level restrictions may apply. Before planning a trip, make sure the inmate has added you to their approved visitors list and that you're registered in the facility's visitor-scheduling system. Bring a current government photo ID showing your date of birth, use the same address on your registration as on your ID, and for video visits, sign in close to your scheduled start time.

Staying in touch with someone at FCI Loretto typically means phone calls and secure electronic messaging. All calls go through the Bureau's Inmate Telephone System (ITS). Bypassing ITS (through call forwarding, toll-free numbers, or credit-card workarounds) is prohibited. Calls are monitored, though unmonitored attorney calls are allowed in certain circumstances. The institution supplement sets call length limits, and BOP guidance commonly caps calls at 15 minutes unless stated otherwise. For messaging, TRULINCS is text-only with size limits. Both the inmate and the outside contact must consent to monitoring before using it. Remote options like phone, video, and messaging typically require a vendor account, facility approval, and scheduling or prepaying through the vendor portal.

You can send funds to someone at FCI Loretto using MoneyGram ExpressPayment. For online payments, enter MoneyGram Receive Code 7932. Keep in mind that many web transactions are limited to $300 per payment. For the account number, type the inmate's eight-digit register number immediately followed by their last name, with no spaces or dashes. Getting this format right matters, since it ensures the payment posts to the correct person. MoneyGram ExpressPayment transactions for Bureau of Prisons inmates are processed daily, though exact posting time depends on when you send the payment. Other deposit options may include approved online or phone services, lobby kiosks, or mailed money orders. Always include the inmate's name and facility-specific ID on the deposit.
