Bridging The Gap Of Social Distancing

Covid-19 and social distancing policies have significantly separated families and their loved ones in custody with no contact visits. Inmate Connect aims to bridge the gap created by social distancing reducing anxiety and ensuring communication channels remain in place.

About Us

We Aim To Improve Communication Channels Between Inmates, Family And Loved Ones.

Inmate Connect was established to assist the family of people who are currently or preparing to go into custody. More often than not, people that are in prison are often forgotten and their families who are left behind receive very little support. Simple things such as hearing the voice of a loved one, or knowing that they are OK are so valuable and as a social venture Inmate Connect aims to strengthen these positive relationships in the hope that it may break the cycle and lead towards change.
