Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology is becoming a regular aspect of our lives, prisons and jails have begun to explore new ways to communicate with family and friends. One such innovation is the federal inmate text messaging. Inmates can send messages to family members via a special device that looks like a dumbed-down cellphone. It costs 10 cents for each message and has a 160-character limit. The device is easy to use by loved ones who want to stay in touch with incarcerated relatives.

The devices, also known as chirping devices (or chirping devices) are not able to allow prisoners to download apps, take photos, make calls via phone or internet or access the internet. They also can't use emojis or stickers. The device doesn't require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Users who send messages can buy credits on the inmate text app ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages are based on the state and facility. To view the current rates, log in to ConnectNetwork and then go to the messaging page for the person in custody you would like to talk to.

Inmates can reply to messages by sending with a handwritten reply or replying electronically. Corbot can also be used to buy books. Corbot has an Amazon feature that allows prisoners 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. Those who use the service should be conscious of their surroundings and avoid sharing any personal information such as an address or phone number or address with an inmate. They should also stay clear from any inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
