Inmate Text App
If you have a family member who is incarcerated, the best way to keep in touch with them is through an inmate texting application. These apps are specially designed to meet prison regulations and allow family members and friends to send and receive messages pictures, eCards, video federl inmate texting calls, as well as money into their prison trust account. There are additional federal inmate apps that provide additional services, such as video visits and phone calls.
The JPay app, for example, enables family and friends to pay money into the trust account of an inmate, as well as email, photos, eCards, and video grams. It also lets them design personalized postcards with personal photos. It's a safer and more secure alternative to regular mail.
Another popular inmate text application is GettingOut that provides "simple and reliable communication" between inmates and their loved ones. The app, available in select correctional facilities allows inmates to upload photos as well as text their family and friends on their tablets. Inmates pay $0.25 per message, and their loved ones pay cost of data to access them (but not explicit pictures). You can also use the GettingOut application to share a photo on Facebook or Foursquare and check in on Foursquare, and add a video to an YouTube upload.
