If your inmate is in set up in the TruLinks system, their PIN will transfer from facility to facility.

If your inmate is in set up in the TruLinks system, their PIN will transfer from facility to facility. Inmate transfers are not publicly posted or acknowledged for security reasons. Once he has reached his new designation, there will be a posting of this new locale on their website. If they land in county for a night or so, the calling from there can only be done "collect".
