Written Messages

Our restricted, secure internal messaging system is a contained area where you can send private messages to your loved one or friend.

  • You must be signed into your GO (GettingOut) account to send and receive internal messages. The inmate receives internal messages the next time they sign in to the system. Note: All messages must be approved by the facility before they can be posted.

Photo Sharing

Now you can share photos too!

In select facilities, you can share photos with inmates. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then our all-new photo sharing system will speak volumes to your loved one or friend.

Please Note: Photos can only be sent through the GettingOut app.
Photo sharing rules are set by each facility. All photos must be approved by the facility before photos are delivered. There will be no refunds for photos that are rejected by the facility.
