Federal Inmate Text Messaging

Even jails and prisons are embracing new ways of communicating because technology is a component of our daily lives. Inmate texting is a great example of this. Inmates can send messages to their loved ones via a special device that looks like an ordinary cellphone. The federal inmate text messages 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, referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) do not permit prisoners to download apps, take photographs, make calls on the phone or via internet or access the internet. They also can't use stickers or emoticons. The device does not require any phone minutes or pre-approvals.

On the ConnectNetwork website, users can purchase credits to send messages. Prices for messages differ based on the state and facility. Log into ConnectNetwork to view the current rates. Go to the page for messaging of the person you would like to reach.

Inmates can reply to messages either by handwriting a response or by responding electronically. The device can also be used to purchase books. Corbot's Amazon feature lets inmates search by title or author and then look up an all-text version.

It is essential to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Users of the service are advised to stay aware of their surroundings at all times and to not disclose any personal information, including a phone number or address, to an inmate. They should also stay clear from any inmates who are not authorised to take part in the program.
