Reception Diagnostic Center (RDC) is a temporary maximum-security prison due to the wide range of custody and security levels of the inmates who go through this facility for classification.  The RDC is usually the first stop for inmates where they will be evaluated, given a physical and psychological exam.  Because it is a temporary facility inmates' programs are limited, so are the perks like visits and phone calls. Therefore your inmate might not get phone privileges until they are designated to a more permanent facility.
