Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Technology is a constant aspect of our lives, prisons and jails are beginning to explore new ways to communicate with family and friends. Federal inmate texting is one of these innovations. Prisoners can send messages to family members via a special device that resembles a dumbed-down cellphone. It costs 10 cents for each message and has a 160-character limit. The device is easy to use for family members who want to stay in touch with relatives who are in prison.

The devices, also known as chirping devices (or chirping devices), do not allow prisoners to download apps, take photographs and make calls via phone or internet, or use the internet. Also, they aren't allowed to use stickers or emojis. The device does not require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

Those who send messages can purchase federal inmate text messages credits from the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages differ based on the state and facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to view the current rates. Go to the message page of the person you want to contact.

Inmates can respond to messages by writing a response or by responding electronically. They can also make use of the device to purchase books. Corbot comes with 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 essential 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 throughout the day and to not divulge any personal information, like a phone number or address to a prisoner. They should also stay away from any inmates who are not authorized to be part of the program.
