Do Federal Prison Inmates Have Internet Access?

The following Quora.com answer was originally posted at: https://www.quora.com/Do-federal-prison-inmates-have-internet-access

Federal inmates do not have internet access (unless of course they possess illegal contraband Smartphones which contrary to popular belief are not as common as the public is lead to believe).

However, federal inmates do have a quasi type of email system called Corrlinks. It is a simple messaging service that provides plain text messages with no links, pictures, or attachments. Inmates must pay for this service (.05 cents/minute to be logged into the system whether reading/writing emails or sitting idle). The incoming messages from the inmate to you do not arrive in your regular email inbox. You must either log into the Corrlinks website or download their app to send and retrieve messages.
