The use of inmate text service has given inmate
and their loved ones a medium to communicate with each other. Having a medium
that caters to the pressing needs of communications between inmates and their
family – it helps in the reformation of inmates and removing the feeling of
loneliness faced by inmates.
This text service
is offered to the inmate at an affordable price monthly, including an unlimited amount of text. The platform offers
a chance for inmates to stay connected to their loved ones through Text inmate. This SMS platform does
not need an app to access the platform.
To use the
platform, all that is required is to send a text message to the designated
number. This number has been registered with the service center and set to
receive messages. And since sending messages is the best option for
inmates, this platform has been beneficial to not only the inmate but their
families.
After the
registration to this platform, photo
printing for inmates is required as part of the registration process. A
photo of the inmate with an email address will be collected and used to
register the number; after this is done, the inmate will be allowed to send
text messages to their loved ones.
This text service
is approved for use by the Federal Bureau of prisons and can be used by all
inmates. With this app, communicating with families has been made much easier
since the messages can be sent and received within a day with an option of
picture sharing.
Through this app,
inmates and their families can keep in touch notwithstanding the distance. The
amazing fact of this platform is that there is no long process needed for
sending the messages. They can be sent from mobile phones or PCs without the
use of the internet.
Although the type
of message sent depends on the correction facility, most facilities allow their
inmates to view and see the message and pics sent from a family. There are also
options for inmates who wish to respond, have the messages sent to them in a
printed form.
