all fed inmates have the 5 cents a minute charge

 
robin1978

I was talking to a guy in a different state, but there was no charge for me. I think they only charge if the inmate is in Iowa. Anyway, he said that they charged him 5 cents a minute while he was reading and responding to my emails. We would send out about ten or so emails a day (5 each way) and they never asked me to put any money into an account. Hope this helps!!

Yes it is 5 cents per minute for the inmate. My pp says she handwrites what shes going to email ahead of time, makes it a lot faster to save minutes as her wages are very low. Right now the only state (other then the fads of course) that uses corrlinks, is Iowa. Go figure, LOL.

brown eyes is exactly right they dont charge us they charge the inmates,
i think its pretty neat they let the inmates use the pc mainly its so they
can keep up and dont lose touch with loved ones me and my girlfriend email
each other all the time,and it is around 5cents a minute...

 
browneyes

You can email them for free. It cost them to email. From my understanding its like 5 cents/min. Im writing my fiance write now and have been since June 2010. Everything is set up thru the Prison and costs the inmates. Kinda sucks but, if u sent them money on there books they can use the money however they want. Ive done it. Happy writing and good luck to you.

No it doesn't cost you anything. The inmate pays a small fee I think.

lol @ chucklehead

 
YMIHere

I have to wonder what kind of chuckle head could come here, look at what they're looking at and still be clueless enough to think that they are registering for an inmate e-mailing system.

english is that a USA thing??

 
english2791

i like the walmart thing because i can just go to the store and put money on it then i put the confirmation # into the computer and straight away i can use it and its not linked to a bank account so they can't take out more than whats there

 
Gerri

Tuxedo can issue you with a pre-paid master card which you can use on j-pay and cellmail i know because i have used mine on both sites

 
english2791

english2791

im not sure about the usp's i thought they all did but im not sure

 
carlylou

thats good, my guy hopes to go back to medium soon....wonder if they will still have the use of corrlinks tho if they move to another prison ? depends where i guess

 
english2791

my fiance is in medium going to low at some point so they are rarely on lockdown

 
carlylou

I gree!! lol ....It is very useful. However they do try to keep some back and delay some too...my mans prison is on lockdown alot so he knows i worry when i dont hear from him and sends a me a quickie (email) I still write the long letters too though

 
english2791

corrlinks is a beautiful thing if its down for an evening im at my wits end.....lol

 
carlylou

was the same for me english,
wiggles it might be worth writing a letter to him so he knows you want to correspond this way as he may not check every few hours (like my man does)

 
english2791

no sorry but with me i think it was only a week

 
Wiggles22hot

My sons dad is locked up and he keeps telling me that he can email me but I have yet to recieve a invitation from him to email. Does anybody know how long it takes to get an invite from someone. I really want to talk to him and been checking my email often.

Go to the page

https://www.corrlinks.com/

Push the button that says NEW USERS REGISTER

They will ask you what your friend's name is,

what his # is,

what facility he is in (there is a drop down menu by state)

your email address.

Corrlinks contacts him by way of email

When he replies to them to approve your request, he attaches his message to you.

the site sends you an email, there is a link to take you back to the site.

You sign in, and double click your new mail

You must enter the site to post or read messages, the email does not contain any of the message, just a link.

It is NOT instant messaging.

My pp and I have exchanged as many as three messages a day back and forth. :)
I do not know how many total may send /received a day.

They have to pay five cents per minute to write or read letters.
It's not much, but it adds up, unless you're writing someone with a lot of money in his account.

We were getting silly, anyway.
