Must-Have Apps to Communicate with Imprisoned Loved Ones
Staying in touch with an imprisoned loved one can be difficult, stressful, and expensive. Use these helpful tips and apps to make keeping in touch as simple as possible.
Having a loved one sentenced to prison can be extremely taxing on your relationship with them, whether your boyfriend is incarcerated, father, mother, or brother. Not only are they suddenly in a new place surrounded by fences and armed guards, but their communication with the outside is severely limited as well. This can lead to questions like why hasn't your inmate called? Or how can you leave a message for an inmate? Luckily, thanks to new technology, there are several ways to keep in touch with your impressed loved one, so they don't miss out on precious moments. There are free inmate calls apps that allow you to call your loved without having to worry about the per minute charge as long as you pay a monthly subscription. There are apps approved by prison institutions that allow you to send pictures or cards to inmates as well. Even though it will be extremely tough just because your loved one is in jail doesn't mean you can't have a happy family.
Another great way to keep in contact with a loved one in prison is to write them the old fashioned way: snail mail. Writing a prisoner online or with a prison messaging app is an excellent way to update them on important family events. However, using snail mail is perfect for keeping them involved in the more mundane aspects of life, and snail-mail is significantly cheaper than in jail communication systems. There are plenty of mail tracking apps that allow you to follow your mail's progress through the postal service to make sure your loved one is receiving your packages. Visiting a prisoners families forum is a great way to learn some necessary information such as how to address your letters, and what topics to avoid, so your letters don't get confiscated. By using a combination of in jail communication apps and traditional mail, you are much more likely to not only share memories but allow your loved one to save memories as well.
