Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even prisons and jails are embracing new ways to communicate, because technology is a component of our daily lives. One such example is the federal inmate messaging. Prisoners can send messages to loved ones through a special device that resembles a dumbed-down 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 stay in touch with their imprisoned family members.

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

Users who send messages can purchase credits on the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages vary depending on the state and the facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to see the current rates. Go to the page for messaging of the person you would like to contact.

Inmates can reply to messages by sending with a handwritten reply or replying electronically. They can also use the device to purchase books. Corbot comes with an Amazon feature that allows inmates to search for books by title or author, and then find an all-text version of the book.

While the capability to text is beneficial, it is important to remember that federal inmates are subject to strict security measures. Users of the service should always remain alert to their surroundings and avoid sharing any information that is personal such as the address or number or address with an inmate. They should also stay clear from any inmates who are not approved to participate in the program.
