Awesome concept. I want to help build one for the prisoner system in the US.
- 5555624 11y agoThe biggest problem might be the lack of a "prisoner system in the US." The US has a Federal prisons system and 50 different state prison systems. Each system makes their own rules. Federal prisoners may have access to send and receive email, through a system called CorrLinks. I think it is standard across all BOP facilities. At the state level, JPay.com does provide a means to contact inmates via email. Inmates cannot send email. There are several companies which provide a means for friends and families of inmates to go online and order items for inmates, at least on the state level. Access Securepak (https://www.accesscatalog.com/ https://www.accesscatalog.com/) may be the largest. You pick the state and only authorized items are listed, packages are restricted to X times per year, a certain weight or dollar amount, etc. I think Texas runs their own online commissary.
