Some jails now offer the opportunity to communicate with inmates via email. This is popular with inmates because it eliminates delayed mail runs within the jail system. Typically, inmates can get this correspondence more quickly and respond immediately.

The use of emails by inmates is also popular with jailers because it eliminates the concerns about contraband that may enter the facility on paper or in envelopes. This also allows the jail to maintain an electronic record that can be referenced at any time.

Emails sent to and from inmates are filtered through a program that searches for words that are known to relate to gang and/or criminal activities. Contact the jail to find out whether emails are allowed.
