Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Planning a visit? USP Lewisburg recommends calling 603-342-4000 to confirm the visiting schedule before you head out. For electronic messaging, the facility uses TRULINCS. Messages are text-only, screened for content, and limited to 13,000 characters. The inmate must approve you, and you'll need to give consent as a contact. Phone service runs through TRUFONE, which records calls and collects voice biometric data, inmate demographic information, and call lists. In-person and video visits take place in designated areas, including the USP Visiting Room and the Camp Visiting Room. Inmates in some SMU phases receive video visitation. Remote services are handled by third-party vendors and typically involve creating an account, completing identity verification, getting facility approval, and often paying with prepaid credits or vendor payment.

The main way inmates communicate electronically day to day is through TRULINCS. Before you try to message someone, there are a couple of approval and consent rules you need to know about first.
If you're calling someone in federal prison, that call is being tracked in more ways than just a phone bill. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) uses the TRUFONE system to collect, store, and act on call information. Recordings are kept for a set period, and sometimes longer if there's a legal or administrative reason.
Mail rules at USP Lewisburg are strict, especially for packages and publications. Here's how the Bureau of Prisons categorizes mail, what gets opened, and what's likely to be rejected, so your loved one actually receives what you send.
