Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are adopting new ways of communicating because jail inmate texting technology is a component of our daily lives. Federal inmate texting is one of these innovations. Inmates can send messages to loved ones via a special device that resembles a dumbed-down cellphone. The device costs 10 cents for each message and the maximum character limit is 160. Using the device is easy for loved ones who want to communicate with their incarcerated family members.

The devices, which are known as chirping devices, don't allow inmates to take photographs or download apps, make phone calls or browse the web. They also can't use stickers or Emojis. The device doesn't need pre-approval or phone minutes.

Users who send messages can buy credits on 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 page for messaging for the person in custody you wish to communicate with.

Inmates can respond to the messages by sending back with a handwritten reply or replying electronically. They can also use the device to purchase books. Corbot's Amazon feature lets inmates search by author or title and then look up an all-text version.

It is essential to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Anyone who uses the service must be aware of their surroundings and avoid sharing any personal information such as an address or phone number that they have with inmates. It is also recommended to avoid inmates who haven't been authorized to take part in this program.
