E-messaging
SmartInmate™ offers a secure two-way electronic messaging
platform tailored for communication between incarcerated individuals
and their loved ones outside of correctional facilities. This system
enables quick and safe exchanges of messages through computer kiosks or
tablets located in the housing units of inmates. Each message costs only
50 cents, making it a more affordable option than traditional postage stamps.
Messages can be sent with prepaid postage, allowing recipients to open and read
them for free, or they can be sent collect (COD) at no cost to the sender, with
the recipient covering the cost. To participate in this messaging process, it is
essential to create a SmartInmate™ account, which can be set up easily by following
the outlined steps at:

Photos
SmartInmate™ provides a one-way photo delivery service that allows you to share those special moments
with a friend or family member who is incarcerated or detained. Each photo costs just $1 to send, and
the recipient can view the photo on their kiosk or tablet as many times as they like. To send a photo,
you MUST open a SmartInmate™ account. The process is quick and easy—just follow the simple steps
at www.smartinmate.com.
Please note that each photo is subject to review by facility staff, who may accept or reject the photo
at their discretion. If a photo is rejected, your credits will be refunded, and you'll have the opportunity
to send a different photo. Electronic photos are delivered much more quickly than those sent through traditional
postal mail, and there's no limit on the number of photos an incarcerated individual can receive electronically.

Gambling paraphernalia
Gang affiliation or possible gang Affiliation
Inappropriate images
