Planning to use TRULINCS electronic messaging? Expect a few built-in limits. Messages are text-only (no attachments), and each one caps out at 13,000 characters, roughly two pages of text. Longer updates will need to be split across multiple messages. TRULINCS access isn't automatic, either. The inmate has to be approved to use the system, and each person they want to communicate with must give permission.
