Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology filters into every aspect of our lives, prisons and jails have begun to embrace new ways of communicating with family and friends. One such innovation is the federal inmate messaging. Inmates can now send messages to family members via a special device that looks like an unrefined cellphone. It costs 10 cents for each message and has a 160-character limit. It is a simple device for family members who wish to stay in touch with their imprisoned family members.

The devices, also referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) are not able to allow prisoners to download apps, take photos, make phone or internet federal inmate text messages calls, or use the internet. Also, they can't use stickers or emojis. The device doesn't require pre-approval or phone minutes.

On the ConnectNetwork site, users can purchase credits to send messages. The cost of messages varies based on the state and the facility. To view the current rates, sign in to ConnectNetwork and go to the page for messaging for the person in custody you would like to communicate with.

Inmates can reply to messages either by handwriting a response or by responding electronically. The device can also be used to buy books. Corbot's Amazon feature lets inmates search for titles or authors and then search for an all-text version.

It is important to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security protocols. Users of the service are advised to remain aware of their surroundings at all times and not divulge any personal information, such as the number of a phone or address, to an inmate. They should also stay away from inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
