Inmate Text App
If you have a friend or family member who is in prison, the best method to stay in touch is through an inmate texting app. These apps are designed to comply with prison rules which allow family and friends to send messages, photos videos, eCards, video calls and even money to their prison trust account. In addition to these messaging apps, there are several federal inmate apps that offer additional services such as video visitation and phone calls.
The JPay application, for instance, enables family and friends to transfer money to the trust account of an inmate, along with pictures, emails videos, eCards, and eCards. It also lets them design personalized postcards featuring personal photos. It's a safer, more secure alternative to regular mail.
Another popular app for texting prisoners is GettingOut. It offers "simple reliable, secure communication" between inmates and their loved ones. The app, which is available in select correctional facilities allows inmates to upload pictures and text their friends and families via their tablets. Inmates pay $0.25 per message and their loved ones pay the cost of accessing them (but they are not explicit images). The GettingOut app allows you to upload photos to Facebook or Foursquare and then check in to Foursquare and then add a YouTube video.
