The Anderson County Sheriff's Office points families to NCIC's messaging system as the quick alternative to paper mail. Set up an account at ncic.com, find the person, and send a message; it reaches the kiosk in their cell almost at once. You can photograph a document and attach it to a message.
Letters mailed to Longview arrive by this route too, once scanned. Account and billing help: NCIC at 800-943-2189 or 903-247-0069.

Electronic mail for Anderson County inmates runs through NCIC, priced by the Sheriff's Office at a quarter per text and 35 cents per photo or document. Help line: 800-943-2189.
How does the person read my message?
A message never arrived or I was overcharged. Who handles that?
$0.25 for a text message and $0.35 for each picture or document, according to the Sheriff's mail notice.
Through a cell kiosk, which displays mail scans too.
Yes, as a $0.35 picture message. It's quicker than mailing one, and Longview allows only one print per envelope.
NCIC (800-943-2189) can explain whether replies are enabled for Anderson County accounts.
