Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are exploring new ways to communicate, because technology is a component of our everyday lives. Inmate texting is a great example of this. Inmates can now send messages to family members using a device that resembles an unrefined cellphone. The device costs 10 cents each message and the maximum character limit is 160. The device is simple for loved ones who want to contact their detained family members.

The devices, also referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) are not able to allow prisoners to download apps, take pictures, make phone or internet calls or access 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 can buy credits to send messages. Prices for messages vary depending on the state and facility. Log into ConnectNetwork to check the rates currently in effect. Go to the message page of the person you want to reach.

Prisoners can respond to messages by sending back an unwritten response or responding electronically. They can also use the device to purchase books. Corbot's Amazon federal inmate text messages feature lets inmates search by author or title and then find an all-text version.

It is important to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Those who use the service must be alert to their surroundings and avoid sharing any information that is personal such as an address or phone number that they have with inmates. They should also stay clear from inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
