Inmate Text App
Inmate texting apps are the most effective method of keeping in touch with a family member or friend who is currently behind bars. These apps are designed to comply with prison regulations and allow family and friends to send messages, pictures, video calls, eCards and even money to their trust account in prison. There are additional federal inmate apps that offer additional services such as phone calls and video visits.
The JPay app, for example, enables family and friends to pay money into the trust account of an inmate along with pictures, federal inmate text app emails as well as eCards, video grams and more. It also lets them create personalized postcards featuring personal photos. It's also a safer and more secure alternative to traditional postal mail.
Another popular texting app for inmates is GettingOut, which offers "simple and reliable communication" between inmates and their loved ones. The app is accessible at select correctional facilities, and allows inmates to upload photos and communicate with family members and friends using their tablets. It costs inmates $0.25 per message and loved ones pay for the information that they use to view their messages (but not for explicit images). The GettingOut application can be used to upload a photo to Facebook or Foursquare or check-in on Foursquare and add an YouTube video.
