Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even prisons and jails are embracing new ways to communicate, since technology is an integral part of our everyday lives. Inmate texting in the federal prison is one of these innovations. Inmates can now send messages to family members through a special device that looks like an unrefined cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a 160-character limit. It is easy to use for loved ones who want to stay in touch with family members who are in prison.

The devices, commonly known as chirping devices, don't allow inmates to take photographs or download apps to make phone calls or browse the internet. Also, they can't use stickers or emoticons. The device doesn't require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Users who send messages can buy federal inmate text messages credits on the ConnectNetwork website. The cost of messages varies based on the state and facility. To check the current rates, log in to ConnectNetwork and go to the page for messaging for the person in custody you would like to talk to.

Prisoners can respond to messages by writing an answer or responding electronically. They can also make use of the device to purchase books. Corbot has an Amazon feature that allows inmates to search for books based on title or author, and then search for an all-text version of the book.

It is crucial to keep in mind that federal prisoners are subject to strict security measures. Those who use the service must be alert to their surroundings and avoid sharing any information that is personal like an address or a phone number or address with an inmate. They should also stay clear from inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
