If you have a friend or family member who is imprisoned, the best option to stay connected with them is through an inmate texting app. These apps are designed to be in compliance with prison regulations and allow family and friends to send messages, pictures video calls, eCards and even money to their trust account in prison. There are additional federal inmate apps that provide additional services, such as federal inmate text app phone calls and video visits.

The JPay application, for instance allows family and friends to easily transfer money into the trust account of an inmate as well as photos, email, eCards, and video grams. They can also create personalized postcards with their own images. It's a safer and more secure alternative to regular mail.

Another popular texting app for prisoners is GettingOut. It offers "simple reliable and safe communication" between inmates with their loved ones. The app, available in select correctional facilities, allows inmates to upload images as well as text their friends and families via their tablets. Inmates pay $0.25 per message, and their loved ones pay cost of accessing them (but they are not explicit images). You can also make use of the GettingOut app to share images on Facebook or Foursquare and check-in on Foursquare and then add a video to an YouTube upload.
