Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even prisons and jails are embracing new ways of communicating as technology is a part of our daily lives. One such innovation is federal inmate text messaging. Inmates can send messages to loved ones via a special device, which looks like an unrefined cellphone. The device costs 10 cents for each message and the maximum character limit is 160. 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) do not permit prisoners to download apps, take pictures, make phone or internet calls or access the internet. Also, they can't use emojis or stickers. The device doesn't need pre-approval or phone minutes.

Users who send messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. The cost of messages varies based on the state and the facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to view the current rates. Go to the page for messaging of the person you would like to contact.

Prisoners can respond to messages by either sending back an inmate texting unwritten response or responding electronically. They can also use the device to buy books. Corbot's Amazon feature allows prisoners to search for titles or authors and then search for an all-text version.

It is crucial to keep in mind 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 give out any personal information, like the number of a phone or address to a prisoner. They should also stay clear of inmates who haven't been accepted to be part of this program.
