DOJ/BOP RIN: 1120-AB38 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Inmate Electronic Message Program 
Abstract: The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to establish an inmate electronic message program for general correspondence with persons in the community. We intend that this will provide inmates with an alternative means of written correspondence and provide the Bureau with a more efficient, cost effective, and secure method of managing inmate mail services. However, the inmates participating in this program will not have access to the Internet. As more inmates use the new electronic message program, it will reduce the opportunities to introduce contraband into Bureau facilities through inmate mail.
