About Inmate Text App — Free Prison Communication Directory
A free prison communication discovery platform for families across the United States.
Inmate Text App is a free information platform that helps families find and compare inmate communication options at correctional facilities across the United States. We are not a messaging service and we do not connect directly to any prison system.
Our goal is to reduce confusion for families who are navigating prison communication for the first time. We organize facility data, provider information, and communication guides in one place so you can find answers quickly without having to search across multiple sites.
We cover federal prisons, state prisons, county jails, and private facilities in all 50 states. Our directory includes information on major communication providers including JPay, CorrLinks, ConnectNetwork, GettingOut, SmartInmate, and TextBehind.
Inmate Text App is not affiliated with any correctional facility, government agency, or communication provider. All provider links lead to the provider's own website where you can create an account and begin communicating.
Mission
InmateTextApp.com is a free, independent resource built to help families of incarcerated people navigate the complex world of prison communication. We cover every major provider, every service type, and thousands of facilities across the United States.

Our facility and provider information is sourced directly from state Department of Corrections websites, the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility list, and official provider coverage pages.
