Texting and Emailing an Inmate

How Can I Communicate with an Inmate in the Washington County Detention Center using an Online Messaging Service?

Washington County Detention Center uses the services of Inmate Sales to allow text messaging communication between inmates and their friends and family.

Chirping is the product name for inmate texting.
This product allows inmates to send chirps (texts) to friends and family members.

Here's how it works:

First you must register, and then funds are added to the inmate's account. If you want to pay by phone, call 877-998-5678.
When an inmate gets the device they may send 5 free automated messages each day for the first three days of possession of the chirping device.
These automated messages will inform the person the inmate Chirped who is sending the Chirps and the facility they are Chirping from.
It will then ask them to go to a direct link to the inmate's account on the Inmate Sales website.
The website will then instruct them to use a credit card to put money on the inmate's account.

Cost of Chirping:

Inmates will be charged a monthly service fee of $4.00. Inbound and Outbound Chirps are $0.10 each.
If an inmate has available funds on their chirping device they will be able to chirp any cell phone and that chirp will appear to be a normal text.
If you wish to stop receiving Chirps from an inmate, reply to the Chirp with STOP.
