Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are embracing new ways of communicating, as technology is a part of our everyday lives. Federal inmate texting is one such innovation. Inmates can send messages to loved ones using a specific device that resembles an ordinary cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a limit of 160 characters. Using the device is easy for family members who wish to contact their detained family members.

The devices, also known as chirping devices (or chirping devices), do not allow prisoners to download apps, take pictures or make calls via phone or internet or browse the internet. Additionally, they aren't allowed to use stickers or Emojis. The device doesn't require pre-approval or phone minutes.

Users who send messages can purchase credits on the ConnectNetwork federal inmate text messages website. The cost of messages vary by state and facility. Sign in to ConnectNetwork to see the current rates. Go to the messaging page of the person you would like to reach.

Inmates can reply to messages by writing a response or by responding electronically. They can also make use of the device to purchase books. Corbot also has an Amazon feature that allows inmates to search for books based on title or author, and then find an all-text version of the book.

While the capability to text is beneficial but it is important to remember that federal inmates are subject to strict security measures. Anyone who uses the service should always remain alert to their surroundings and avoid sharing anything too personal like the address or number that they have with inmates. They should also avoid inmates who haven't been authorized to take part in this program.
