Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are adopting new ways of communicating since technology is an integral part of every aspect of our lives. One such example is the federal inmate text messaging. Inmates can send messages to loved ones via a special device that resembles an ordinary cellphone. The device costs 10 cents each message and the maximum character limit is 160 characters. It is easy to use for loved ones who wish to communicate with family members who are in prison.

The devices, which are called chirping devices, do not allow inmates to take photos or download apps, make phone calls or search the internet. They also can't use stickers or Emojis. The device does not require 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 facility. Log into ConnectNetwork to check the rates currently in effect. Go to the page for messaging of the person you want to contact.

Inmates can respond to messages either by handwriting an answer or responding electronically. They can also use the device to buy books. Corbot's federal inmate text messages Amazon feature allows prisoners to search by author or title and then search for an all-text version.

It is important to keep in mind that federal prisoners are subject to strict security measures. Anyone who uses the service should always remain aware of their surroundings and should not share anything too personal like the address or number or address with an inmate. They should also avoid prisoners who are not approved to participate in this program.
