What Is eMessaging?

eMessaging refers to electronic messaging services available to prison and jail inmates through approved communication platforms such as JPay, CorrLinks, ConnectNetwork, and GettingOut. Messages are typed by the sender, paid for using stamps or credits, and delivered to the inmate after staff review. The inmate reads messages on a tablet or kiosk terminal and can send replies. eMessaging is typically faster than physical mail but slower than real-time communication.

A family member purchases 10 JPay stamps at approximately $0.40 each and sends a message to their loved one at a state prison. The message is reviewed and delivered within several hours.
