Emailing an Inmate

A growing number of jails are adopting email services for inmates and their families, providing a more convenient way to communicate. You can access your emails from your smartphone, computer, or tablet whenever needed.

You also avoid the need to handle physical mail, such as envelopes, stamps, or going to the post office.

Inmates benefit as they receive emails without the delays associated with traditional mail, allowing them to respond faster.

Jail staff prefers email services because it reduces the possibility of contraband coming through physical mail and provides a digital record of communication that can be reviewed later.

Emails go through a filter that looks for words linked to criminal and gang activity.

There are many instances where emails between inmates and loved ones have been presented in court to bring new charges or convictions.
