Fluvanna Corrections Center, VA

Phone service at Fluvanna Corrections Center runs through ConnectNetwork (Global Tel*Link). All calls are recorded and monitored—except attorney calls, which require an advance request for an electronic recording block. DOC policy limits calls to 20 minutes unless the Director authorizes otherwise, and phone access can be suspended during counts or for security reasons. Each inmate maintains an approved call list capped at 15 numbers. Recipients can refuse collect or debit calls, and since collect calling is limited, prepaid is often the way to go. To add money, set up a ConnectNetwork account (or use the vendor's toll-free line) and have the inmate's 7-digit state ID ready. One thing to watch: AdvancePay accounts go inactive after 180 days. Also worth noting—a 2020 vendor data breach was reported.

To add money to an inmate's phone account at Fluvanna Corrections Center, you'll use ConnectNetwork. Deposits can be made through the ConnectNetwork online portal or by calling 1-800-483-8314. You'll need to create an account and enter the inmate's 7-digit state ID number—having their name handy helps too. If the inmate transfers to another DOC facility, their phone account should transfer automatically, usually within about three hours of arrival. Keep an eye on your AdvancePay balance: after 180 consecutive days of inactivity, funds can be forfeited. Refunds require contacting customer service directly. Processing times, fees, and available options can vary, so confirm details when you deposit.

Visiting someone at Fluvanna Corrections Center? Keep contraband rules front and center. The Virginia Department of Corrections will prosecute visitors who introduce—or even attempt to introduce—contraband, and they share recent arrest examples as a warning. On a different note, the DOC relies on unpaid community volunteers for various services. Volunteer work can include research, re-entry events with job assistance, co-facilitating groups, bible study, and clerical tasks. For administrative reference, DOC Headquarters is at 6900 Atmore Drive in Richmond, Virginia. Visits typically include both in-person and video options. Intake usually involves identity verification and health screening, while releases follow facility out-processing—though exact procedures vary by location.
