Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
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.
