Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology is becoming a regular aspect of our lives, even prisons and jails are beginning to embrace new ways to communicate with family and friends. One of these innovations is the federal inmate messaging. Prisoners can send messages to loved ones via a special device that resembles a dumbed-down cellphone. It costs 10 cents for each message and has a limit of 160 characters. The device is simple for loved ones who want to contact their detained family members.

The devices, commonly known as chirping devices, don't permit inmates to take pictures or download apps call calls, or browse the web. Also, they can't make use of stickers or emojis. The device doesn't require prior approval or phone minutes.

On the ConnectNetwork website, users can purchase credits to send messages. Prices for messages vary depending on the state and the facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to view the current rates. Go to the message page of the person you want to reach.

Prisoners can respond to messages by either sending back an unwritten response or responding electronically. Corbot can be used to purchase books. Corbot comes with an Amazon feature that allows inmates to search for books based on title or author, and then find an all-text version of the book.

While the possibility of texting can be beneficial, it is important to keep in mind that federal inmates are subject to strict security measures. Anyone who uses the service should always remain text inmate conscious of their surroundings and avoid sharing any personal information like the address or number or address with an inmate. They should also stay away from any inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
