There are also federal inmate apps which offer additional services, like video visits and phone calls.
The JPay application, for instance, enables family and friends to transfer money to the trust account of an inmate, as well as photos, email as well as eCards, video grams and more. They can also create personalized postcards that include personal photos. And it provides a safer and more secure alternative to traditional mail.
