Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are adopting new ways of communicating, since technology is an integral part of our everyday lives. One such example is federal inmate text messaging. Inmates can send messages to their loved ones using a specific device that resembles an unrefined cellphone. The device costs 10 cents for each message, and the maximum character limit is 160. The device is easy to use for loved ones who want to stay in touch with family members who are in prison.

The devices, also referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) are not able to allow prisoners to download apps, take pictures and make calls via phone or internet or browse the internet. Also, they can't use stickers or emojis. The device doesn't need pre-approval or phone minutes.

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

Inmates can respond to the messages by sending back a handwritten response or by replying electronically. They can also use the device to purchase books. Corbot's Amazon feature lets inmates search for titles or authors and then look up contactmeasap.com an all-text version.

While the ability to text can be beneficial, it is important to remember that federal inmates are subject to strict security measures. Users of the service are advised to stay aware of their surroundings at all times and to not give out any personal information, such as a phone number or address, to an inmate. They should also stay away from inmates who have not authorised to take part in the program.
