Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Technology is a constant aspect of our lives, jails and prisons have begun to embrace new ways of communicating with family and friends. Inmate texting is one of these innovations. Prisoners can send messages to loved ones through a special device that looks like an ordinary cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a 160-character limit. Using the device is easy for family members who wish to communicate with their incarcerated family members.

The devices, also known 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 stickers or inmate emojis. The device does not require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Users who send messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages are based on the state and facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to see the current rates. Go to the page for messaging of the person you wish to reach.

Prisoners can respond to messages by sending a handwritten response or by replying electronically. They can also use the device to purchase 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.

It is crucial to keep in mind that federal prisoners are subject to strict security protocols. Users of the service should be alert to their surroundings and not share anything too personal, such as an address or a phone number, with an inmate. They should also avoid inmates who haven't been approved to participate in this program.
