Prison inmates can now text loved ones and friends using tablets provided to them inside prison, providing families a cost-free means of communication without paying high phone call rates.
Once your messages and photos have been approved by the facility, a confirmation message will be delivered directly to your inbox.
It’s free
Inmates can stay connected with family and friends via texting and photo sending via the GettingOut mobile app, a free service available to loved ones that allows them to leave 3-minute voicemails which will be heard when the inmate next logs into the system. It provides an efficient means of staying in touch.
Messages sent using this method will arrive directly into an inmate’s mobile phone. To take advantage of this service, individuals first must add their incarcerated family members as contacts using their scheduling range or name; once added, households should purchase credits in order to send messages; depending on capacity requirements they may also require credits in order to respond back.
Access to these services depends on both the facility and jurisdiction in which it’s offered. In some instances, inmates must first receive approval from staff before using them. Services provided by third-party vendors or run directly by the facility can often be more cost effective than traditional postal mail methods.
Apps provide an effective alternative to purchasing physical letters and visiting money order shops to purchase stamps and paper for them. Not only are these apps easy for inmates to use, they can help foster relationships that may help facilitate their reentry back into society after prison incarceration.
It’s convenient
Technology today makes it amazing that even federal inmates are able to stay in contact with loved ones by communicating via text messaging. While this has opened up new avenues of interaction for inmates and has provided emotional support, texting poses security concerns but provides an easy alternative that may help inmates maintain relationships while they serve time in prison.
Messages sent using this service are delivered directly to inmates’ mobile phones. In order to use it, families need to add their incarcerated family members as contacts using scheduling selection or identify. Once this has been accomplished, families should purchase credits so they can send messages; depending on the facility you may also require additional credits in order to receive replies.
Inmate communication apps offer an affordable and simple alternative to costly phone calls and visits in-person. Their user-friendly design can be utilized on any smartphone or computer and their security features keep inmates’ personal data protected against unauthorized access. Not only can inmate messaging services offer convenience and emotional support services for successful reintegration into society, they may also facilitate skill building for successful reentry back into society.
It’s secure
Text messaging has become an increasingly popular means of communicating with loved ones who are incarcerated, providing a secure, convenient, and cost-effective method of staying connected during imprisonment. Texting services provide inmates with important relationships to maintain while helping alleviate feelings of isolation during their sentence – rehabilitation efforts can even benefit from these services. Unfortunately however, texting also presents its own set of challenges: security must always be considered first as it could contain illicit activity or sensitive data which can hinder prison operations – messages may contain illegal or sensitive content that must be monitored closely – while rehabilitation efforts must also support rehabilitation efforts as these services provide rehabilitation efforts as well.
Many correctional facilities now provide secure messaging systems or kiosks that enable inmates to send and receive electronic messages with approved contacts, both within their institution as well as through closed networks managed by correctional staff. They can be used from mobile phones or tablets; to take advantage of them, please check with the facility in which you reside for more details on specific requirements.
Text Behind offers another solution for sending inmate text messages – this service enables friends and family members to send contraband-free legal mail directly to federal inmates, enabling them to stay connected with those they care for while in prison and promotes successful reintegration into society upon release.
Text messaging costs far less than traditional telephone calls or letters and provides greater convenience than public telephone systems. However, fees must be evaluated against benefits carefully – to maximize safety and reliability choose an established provider who guarantees secure messaging service.
