Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even prisons and jails are adopting new ways of communicating as technology is a part of our daily lives. Federal inmate texting is one such innovation.

The devices, which are called chirping devices, don't allow inmates to take photos or download apps, make phone calls or browse the internet. They also can't make use of stickers or emojis. The device doesn't require pre-approval or phone minutes.

Users who send messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages vary depending on the state and facility. To view the current rates, sign into ConnectNetwork and go to the messaging page for the person in custody you would like to contact.

Prisoners can respond to messages by sending back with a handwritten reply or replying electronically. The device can also be used to purchase books. Corbot comes with an Amazon feature that allows prisoners to search for books by title or author, and then find an all-text version of the book.
