Conveinence and Reliability. More than ever people are on the move and occasionally it's tougher to sit down and write a letter than we realize. By creating an account with ThePrisonPostOffice.Com you give yourself the flexibility to jot down a letter, short or long, whenever you have an open minute to type. There are no stamps, no enevelopes, and no forgetting to put the letter in the mail, it's quick and easy.
Why is this better than the phone?Every day 10's of millions of calls show up as missed calls or dropped calls all around the world. With overcrowded prisons, inmates have less and less time to actually be on the phone than they once did and as people on the outside with full fledged responsibilities we have less and less time to be sitting by the phone waiting. Theprisonpostoffice.com is a great way for you and all of your loved ones to consistently let an inmate know that you are thinking about him or her. Also from a cost standpoint, our monthly packages can trim $100's of dollars a month off of your phone bill.
How does it work?When a client chooses to create a PrisonPostOffice.com email account for an inmate, they are providing us with all of the information that we need to begin the correspondence cycle. From there this email account is activated and capable of receiving email 24 hours a day 7 days a week from our secure site. Depending on the plan that is purchased, this email address will be checked between 1-3 times per week and all correspsondence sent to this email address will be printed and mailed out to the inmate. ThePrisonPostOffice is where technology and support work hand in hand.
