Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology is becoming a regular part of our lives, prisons and jails are beginning to adopt new ways of communicating with family and friends. Inmate texting in the federal prison is one such innovation. Inmates can now send messages to family members via a special device that looks like an unrefined cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a limit of 160 characters. It is easy to use for loved ones who want to stay in touch with incarcerated relatives.

The devices, referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) are not able to allow prisoners to download apps, take photographs, make phone or internet calls or browse the internet. Also, they aren't allowed to use emojis or contactmeasap.com stickers. The device doesn't need any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Those who send messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. The prices for the messages vary by state and facility. Log into ConnectNetwork to view the current rates. Go to the page for messaging of the person you would like to contact.

Inmates can respond to messages by writing an answer or responding electronically. Corbot can also be used to buy books. Corbot comes with an Amazon feature that allows prisoners to search for books based on title or author, and then find an all-text version of the book.

It is important to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Users of the service are advised to stay aware of their surroundings throughout the day and to not divulge any personal information, such as a phone number or address to a prisoner. It is also recommended to avoid inmates who haven't been authorized to take part in this program.
