USP TERRE HAUTE, IN

To visit someone at USP Terre Haute, the inmate must first add you to their approved visitors list, and the Bureau of Prisons must clear you. You'll fill out the BP-A0629 visitor information form and sign a release authorizing background and law-enforcement checks. If you don't provide the requested information, processing can be suspended. False statements on the form can lead to federal criminal penalties. On arrival, you consent to searches under Bureau policy and 28 C.F.R. Part 511. Refusing a search means you won't be allowed in. The facility enforces a dress code, and prohibited items include weapons, explosives, drugs, currency, cameras, recording equipment, phones, and other electronics. Inmates are entitled to at least four hours of visits per month. Confirm the official visiting hours before you travel.

USP Terre Haute supports inmate communication by phone and through the BOP TRULINCS electronic messaging system. Phone privileges are available, but calls are monitored and ordinarily paid by the inmate. Third-party or alternative call arrangements are not permitted. For electronic messages, TRULINCS requires approval for both the inmate and the outside contact. Messages are text-only, capped at 13,000 characters, and attachments are not allowed. All messages are screened and monitored. A revision to the P4500.12 Trust Fund manual formalized TRULINCS access language and related updates tied to system access. Because fees, vendor accounts, and scheduling can vary, check the facility communication page and complete any vendor setup steps (create an account, add the incarcerated person, request approval) before you pay or schedule services.

To send money to an inmate at USP Terre Haute, use MoneyGram ExpressPayment for deposits to the inmate trust account. Format the inmate identifier as the eight-digit register number immediately followed by the inmate's last name (for example, 12345678DOE). Set the Company Name to "Federal Bureau of Prisons" so the funds route to the correct federal trust account. MoneyGram deposits are received and processed seven days a week. Transfers sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post within 2 to 4 hours, while transfers sent after 9:00 p.m. usually post at 7:00 a.m. Other deposit channels may be available (online, by phone, in mobile apps, or at lobby kiosks), so confirm the current options and exact identifier before you send.
