Inmate Text App
Inmate texting apps are the most effective way to keep in touch with a relative or friend who is currently imprisoned. These apps are designed to be in compliance with prison rules and allow family and friends to send messages, photos, video calls, eCards and money to their trust accounts in prison. In addition to these messaging apps, there are many federal inmate apps that offer additional services like video visitation and phone calls.
JPay is one example. It allows family and friends to transfer money directly into an inmate's trust account. It also allows videos, emails, photos and eCards. They can also design personal postcards using their own images. It's a safer and more secure alternative to postal mail.
Another popular app for texting prisoners is GettingOut. It allows "simple reliable, reliable communication" between inmates with their loved ones. The app is available at select correctional facilities, and allows inmates to upload images and text messages to family members and friends on their tablets. It costs inmates $0.25 a message and loved ones pay for the data used to access their messages (but not for explicit images). You can also use the GettingOut app to post a photo on Facebook or Foursquare and check in on Foursquare, and include a video in an YouTube upload.
