Inmate Text App
If you have a friend or family member who is currently in prison, the best method to keep in touch with them is to use an inmate messaging app. These apps are designed to meet prison regulations and allow family members as well as friends to send and receive messages images, photos, eCards video calls, and even money into their trust account at the prison. There are also federal inmate applications that offer additional services, like video visits and phone calls.
The JPay app, for example, enables family and friends to easily pay money into the trust account of an inmate as well as email, photos, eCards, and video grams. It also lets them create personalized postcards with personal photos. It is a safer, more secure alternative to regular mail.
Another popular texting app for prisoners is GettingOut. It provides "simple reliable, reliable communication" between inmates and their loved family members. The app, available in certain correctional facilities, allows inmates to upload images as well as text their friends and families via their text inmate tablets. Inmates pay $0.25 per message and their loved ones pay the cost of accessing them (but not explicit pictures). You can also make use of the GettingOut application to share a photo on Facebook or Foursquare and check-in on Foursquare and include a video in the YouTube upload.
