Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Technology is a constant part of our lives, even prisons and jails have begun to adopt new ways of communicating with family and friends. Inmate texting is a great example of this. Inmates can send messages to loved ones via a special device, which looks like a dumbed down cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a limit of 160 characters. The device is simple for loved ones who want to communicate with their incarcerated family members.

The devices, which are known as chirping devices, don't allow inmates to take photos or download apps to make phone calls or search the internet. Also, they aren't allowed to use stickers or emojis. The device doesn't need any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

On the ConnectNetwork site, users are able to buy credits to send messages. Prices for messages differ based on the state and the facility. Sign into ConnectNetwork to check the rates currently in effect. Go to the messaging page federal inmate text messages of the person you wish to reach.

Inmates can reply to messages by sending back an unwritten response or replying electronically. They can also use the device to buy books. Corbot also has 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.
