Find an Inmate & Send a MessageFrequently Asked Questions
Direct access to an inmate's official call logs and messages is typically restricted to authorized personnel and legal representatives. However, families can maintain their own communication records through services like InmateDB, which provides secure messaging with delivery confirmation and message history. For official records, you would need to follow facility-specific procedures, which often require formal requests or legal authorization.
InmateDB provides a complete communication history within our platform, including timestamps for all messages sent and received, delivery confirmations, and records of photo deliveries and mailed letters. While we don't access facility-controlled call logs, our system gives you transparent tracking of all interactions through our services, helping you maintain organized records of your communication.
InmateDB offers multiple ways to connect: secure chat-style messaging with Telegram integration for real-time delivery, digital photo uploads that we print and mail as high-quality copies, online paper mail that we print and send, and AI/information tools that inmates can access via email commands. This comprehensive approach goes beyond basic messaging to support richer relationships.
All communication through InmateDB is encrypted and secure. We comply with correctional facility regulations while providing a user-friendly experience. Messages are delivered through approved channels, and we maintain strict privacy standards to protect your communication with incarcerated loved ones.
