Ensuring your privacy is very important to PrisonInmates.com. You may be confident that our privacy practices are held to the highest standards.

You should know that when you add an inmate as a friend, or send an inmate a message through our website that your postal mailing address you provided during sign up and your email address will be provided to the inmate. This is because inmates do not have access to the internet or PrisonInmates.com. There only means of communication is through the US Postal Service or through a form based email service called Corrlinks.com. If you do not wish to give out your personal mailing address, we suggest you do not use the Free messaging service offered on this website and instead sign up for the Mail Forwarding Service at EmailingAPrisoner.com. With this service you can use their mailing address for inmates to write you at and your messages will be scanned and uploaded to your account. EmailingAPrisoner.com is a paid service.
