Inmate Text App
If you have a friend or family member who is in prison, the best method to stay in touch is via an inmate-texting application. These apps are designed to comply with prison regulations which allow family and friends to send federl inmate texting messages, pictures videos, eCards, video calls and even money to their trust account in prison. There are also federal inmate apps which offer additional services such as phone calls and video visits.
JPay, for example allows family and friends to send money directly into an inmate's trust account as well as videos, emails, photos, and electronic cards. It also lets them create personalized postcards with personal photos. It's a safer and more secure alternative to regular mail.
Another popular texting app for inmates is GettingOut which provides "simple and reliable communication" between inmates and their loved ones. The application is available at select correctional facilities and allows inmates to upload pictures and message family and friends via their tablets. It costs inmates $0.25 a message, and loved ones pay for the data used to access their messages (but not for explicit images). You can also use the GettingOut app to post pictures on Facebook or Foursquare and check in on Foursquare and then include a video in an YouTube upload.
