FMC Lexington 

Before visiting FMC Lexington, you must be cleared by the Bureau of Prisons and added to the inmate's approved visiting list. Submit the BP‑A0629 visitor questionnaire and release form—if you skip any requested information, your application stalls and won't move forward. Approved visitors include relatives (grandparents, uncles, aunts, in‑laws, cousins), certain officials and groups, and often up to 10 friends or associates. By entering Bureau grounds, you consent to searches. Refuse a search, and you won't get in. Weapons, drugs, phones, cameras, and recording equipment are prohibited. Medications must be declared and left at the entry point. Conjugal visits aren't allowed. Visit time and space may be limited to prevent overcrowding—call ahead to confirm availability.

Phone calls at FMC Lexington are monitored and recorded—a posted notice alerts inmates to this. Attorney calls may be unmonitored in specific circumstances. The facility uses TRUFONE for phone service. TRUFONE collects and stores telephone numbers, voice biometric data, call recordings, and account balances. Recordings are deleted after 180 days unless preserved for legal or administrative reasons. Archived call data stays on file for ten years before removal. Third-party or alternative call arrangements aren't allowed. For electronic messaging, inmates use TRULINCS with approved public contacts. Messages are text-only (no attachments), limited to 13,000 characters, and both parties must be approved. To use these services, you'll need to set up an account with the communications vendor and complete the required approval steps.

FMC Lexington sorts incoming mail into two categories: general mail and special mail. General mail gets opened and inspected for contraband and threatening content. Special mail is opened only with the inmate present, then checked for contraband and verified as qualifying for special mail status. Packages from home generally aren't allowed without prior written approval—typically only release clothing and authorized medical devices make the cut. Books and magazines are allowed, but they must ship directly from the publisher. To help your mail arrive smoothly: use the inmate's full name and ID number, include your complete return address, seal the envelope before mailing, and stick to plain, scanner-friendly paper.

FMC Lexington accepts MoneyGram deposits, but the details must be entered exactly right. Format the account number as the inmate's eight-digit register number immediately followed by their last name (example: 12345678DOE). Use MoneyGram Receive Code 7932. Funds sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post within 2–4 hours. Transfers after 9:00 p.m. post at 7:00 a.m. the next morning. Other deposit methods—vendor portals, lobby kiosks, phone deposits, or mailed money orders—may be available, so check the vendor or facility page for options.
