eMates

eMates (emailaprisoner.com) has the following goals:

To help family and friends communicate easily and frequently with Prisoners.  
To reduce thoughts of self-harm/suicide through increased communication.
To assist Prisoners in preparation for release with multiple partner agencies.

Communication is a major factor in Prison life and the lack of it can have horrendous consequences. eMates offers a quick, efficient, secure alternative method of communication for Prisoners, their families, friends, legal professionals and related organisations - meaning Prisoners can receive more frequent and varied communication.

Documentation continually states Prisoners who are able to maintain family ties are 6 times less likely to re-offend.
