Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Technology is a constant aspect of our lives, jails and prisons have begun to explore new ways to communicate with family and friends. Federal inmate texting is one such innovation. Inmates can send messages to their loved ones via a special device that resembles a dumbed down cellphone. The device costs 10 cents for each message and the maximum character federal inmate text messages limit is 160 characters. The device is easy to use for loved ones who want to stay in touch with incarcerated relatives.

The devices, also known as chirping devices (or chirping devices), do not allow prisoners to download apps, take photographs and make phone or internet calls, or use the internet. They also can't use stickers or emoticons. The device doesn't require pre-approval or phone minutes.

Those who send messages can buy credits on the ConnectNetwork website. Prices for messages differ based on the state and the facility. To check the current rates, sign into ConnectNetwork and then go to the messaging page for the person in custody you want to communicate with.

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

While the possibility of texting can be beneficial however, it is important to keep in mind that federal prisoners are subject to strict security measures. Anyone who uses the service should be conscious of their surroundings and avoid sharing any personal information, such as the address or number or address with an inmate. They should also stay clear of inmates who haven't been authorized to take part in this program.
