Corrlinks is a third party service that contracts with the FTC Oklahoma City and other prisons in the Bureau of Prisons to allow inmates and their friends and family to communicate using digital secure messaging that is monitored by the institution prior to being delivered.
Corrlinks also has a video visitation service and allows inmates to receive funds that are sent to them from the outside.
In order to exchange messages from an inmate, you must first receive an invitation from the inmate, which they can do from within FTC Oklahoma City. There is usually a fee involved in this service, but not so for messages from/to inmates residing at facilities operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons or CoreCivic (CCA).
The pre-approved contacts are the same that are pre-approved for visits. This is the form that you must fill out and send back to the inmate. They will turn it in. Approval can take several weeks.
Step 1 - Register

Step 2 - Send Message
