Before Your First Visit to FPC Bryan: What to Expect
First visits can feel stressful—mostly because small details can derail the whole trip. Here's what to expect at FPC Bryan and how to plan so you don't get turned away at the door.
How to send messages, photos, and packages
FPC Bryan provides phone and electronic messaging options through approved vendor systems. Calls are monitored, though unmonitored calls to attorneys may be permitted in certain circumstances. Phone calls are ordinarily paid for by the inmate, but in some cases the person receiving the call may pay depending on the vendor arrangement. Third-party or alternative call arrangements are not permitted, so you'll need to use the approved vendor process for account setup and payments. For written electronic contact, the facility uses TRULINCS. Messages are text-only, attachments are not allowed, and each message is limited to 13,000 characters. Plan your message length and format accordingly.
