Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology filters into every part of our lives, even prisons and jails are beginning to adopt new ways of communicating with family and friends. Federal inmate texting is one such innovation. Prisoners can now send messages to family members using a device that resembles an unrefined cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a 160-character limit. Using the device is easy for loved ones who want to stay in touch with their imprisoned family members.

The devices, referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) do not permit prisoners to download apps, take photographs or make calls on the phone or via internet or browse the internet. Additionally, they aren't allowed to use stickers or Emojis. The device doesn't require prior approval or phone minutes.

Users who send federal inmate text messages messages can purchase credits from the ConnectNetwork website. The cost of messages varies based on the state and facility. To check the current rates, log into ConnectNetwork and go to the messaging page for the person in custody you want to talk to.

Inmates can reply to messages by writing the response or by responding electronically. Corbot can also be used to buy books. Corbot also has an Amazon feature that allows prisoners to search for books by title or author, and then search for an all-text version of the book.

It is important to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security measures. Anyone who uses the service must be alert to their surroundings and not share any information that is personal such as an address or a phone number or address with an inmate. They should also stay clear of inmates who haven't been authorized to take part in this program.
