How to send messages, photos, and packages
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.
