Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even prisons and jails are adopting new ways of communicating, as technology is a part of every aspect of our lives. One of these innovations is federal inmate text messaging. Prisoners can send messages to loved ones via a special device that looks like an unrefined cellphone. The device costs 10 cents each message and the maximum characters limit is 160 characters. The device is easy to use for family members who wish to communicate with incarcerated relatives.

The devices, referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) do not permit prisoners to download apps, take pictures and make phone or internet calls or access the internet. Also, they can't use stickers inmate text app or emojis. The device does not require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Those who send messages can purchase credits on the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages vary by state and facility. To check the current rates, sign into ConnectNetwork and then go to the page for messaging for the person in custody you want to talk to.

Prisoners can respond to messages by writing the response or by responding electronically. The device can also be used to purchase books. Corbot's Amazon feature allows prisoners to search for titles or authors and then look up an all-text version.

It is crucial to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Anyone who uses the service should always remain conscious of their surroundings and avoid sharing anything too personal like an address or phone number that they have with inmates. They should also stay away from inmates who are not approved to participate in the program.
