Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are embracing new ways of communicating since technology is an integral part of our daily lives. Inmate texting in the federal prison is one of these innovations. Prisoners can send messages to loved ones through a special device that looks like a dumbed-down cellphone. The device costs 10 cents each message, and the maximum character limit is 160 characters. 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), do not allow prisoners to download apps, take photographs and make calls via phone or internet or access the internet. Also, they can't use stickers or emojis. The device does not require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Those who send messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. The cost of messages vary by state and facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to see the current rates. Go to the page for messaging of the person you want to contact. inmate texting

Inmates can respond to the messages by either sending back with a handwritten reply or responding electronically. Corbot can also be used to buy books. Corbot also has an Amazon feature that allows inmates to search for books by title or author, and then find an all-text version of the book.

It is important to keep in mind that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Users of the service should always remain alert to their surroundings and not share any personal information like an address or phone number, with an inmate. They should also stay clear from inmates who have not authorised to take part in the program.
