Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology filters into every part of our lives, even prisons and jails are beginning to explore new ways to communicate with family and friends. Inmate texting is a great example of this. Prisoners can now send messages to family members via a federal inmate text messages special device that resembles an ordinary cellphone. It costs 10 cents for each message and has a 160-character limit. The device is simple to use for loved ones who wish to communicate with incarcerated relatives.

The devices, also known as chirping devices (or chirping devices) do not permit prisoners to download apps, take photographs and make calls via phone or internet or access the internet. They also can't make use of stickers or emojis. The device doesn't require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Those who send messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages differ based on the state and the facility. Log into ConnectNetwork to check the rates currently in effect. Go to the messaging page of the person you would like to reach.

Prisoners can respond to messages by sending a handwritten response or by replying electronically. The device can also be used to purchase books. Corbot's Amazon feature allows prisoners to search by title or author and then find an all-text version.

It is essential to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security measures. Users of the service are advised to remain aware of their surroundings at all times and to not give out any personal information, like the number of a phone or address to a prisoner. They should also stay away from inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
