Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even prisons and jails are embracing new ways of communicating as technology is a part of our everyday lives. One such example is the federal inmate text messaging. Inmates can now send messages to family members through a special device that looks like a dumbed-down cellphone. It costs just 10 cents per message and has a limit of 160 characters. Using the federal inmate text messages device is easy for family members who wish to contact their detained family members.

The devices, also known as chirping devices (or chirping devices) are not able to allow prisoners to download apps, take pictures, make calls via phone or internet or browse the internet. They also can't use stickers or Emojis. The device doesn't need pre-approval or phone minutes.

On the ConnectNetwork website, users can purchase credits to send messages. The prices for the messages differ by state and facility. Log in to ConnectNetwork to check the rates currently in effect. Go to the message page of the person you wish to reach.

Prisoners can respond to messages by writing the response or by responding electronically. The device can also be used to buy books. Corbot has 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.

While the ability to text can be useful but it is important to keep in mind that federal inmates are subject to strict security measures. Users of the service are advised to be aware of their surroundings at all times and to not disclose any personal information, like an address or phone number to a prisoner. They should also avoid inmates who have not been authorized to take part in this program.
