About FCI Aliceville

FCI Aliceville: Alabama's first federal prison for women.

Low-security federal correctional institutions (FCIs) have double-fenced perimeters, mostly dormitory or cubicle housing, and strong work and program components, according to the BOP. The staff-to-inmate ratio is higher than at minimum-security camps.

Day-to-day life at a low-security FCI is generally less restrictive than at higher-security institutions, but the same BOP messaging rules apply: your inmate decides who is on their approved contact list, and communications may be monitored.

How texting works for someone at FCI Aliceville

You text from your own phone. ContactMeAsap relays your messages to your inmate through CorrLinks/TRULINCS, the messaging system the Federal Bureau of Prisons uses for inmates. Getting started takes four steps.

1. Find your inmate.Search the BOP directory by name or register number (BOP register numbers are eight digits, usually written like 12345-678). It’s free and needs no account, and live BOP verification shows the person’s name and facility before you pay, so you can confirm they are held at FCI Aliceville.
2. Add funds. Choose the Basic Federal Plan ($20 per month of service) or the Premium Federal Plan ($30 per month of service). The fee is drawn from the balance you add, and your balance is yours until you use it.
3. Follow your setup instructions.Once your payment is approved, we send instructions by text and email, including an easy-to-remember email address that goes on your inmate’s TRULINCS computer.
4. Get approved, then text.BOP regulations require your inmate to add you to their approved contact list. This “text approve” step takes them just moments. After that, text your inmate like you would anyone else.

Contact-list limits and review timelines can vary by facility, so check FCI Aliceville on bop.gov for the specifics. For more detail, read our guide to how to text a federal inmate or see federal inmate texting for plans and pricing.
