Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology is becoming a regular aspect of our lives, even prisons and jails have begun to adopt new ways of communicating with family federal inmate text messages and friends. One such innovation is the federal inmate messaging. Inmates can send messages to family members via a special device that resembles an ordinary cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a limit of 160 characters. The device is simple for family members who wish to stay in touch with their imprisoned family members.

The devices, also called chirping devices, don't permit inmates to take pictures or download apps call calls, or browse the web. Also, they can't use emojis or stickers. The device doesn't require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

On the ConnectNetwork website, users can buy credits to send messages. Prices for messages differ based on the state and facility. Sign into ConnectNetwork to check the rates currently in effect. Go to the message page of the person you want to reach.

Prisoners can respond to messages either by handwriting a response or by responding electronically. Corbot can also be used to purchase 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.

While the possibility of texting can be helpful but it is important to remember that federal inmates are subject to strict security measures. Users of the service are advised to be aware of their surroundings throughout the day and to not divulge any personal information, like the number of a phone or address, to an inmate. They should also stay clear from inmates who have not authorised to take part in the program.
