Been using the NCIC Mobile Video Visitation app for a couple months now. It’s basically a way to text, send photos and videos, and do video calls with family or friends who are in prison. Pretty solid app if you’ve got a loved one locked up and you wanna keep in touch.
Here’s what you can do – you can send text messages, GIFs, and emojis back and forth. There’s also video messaging, which is super useful. And you can actually do video visits too, kinda like a video call. Took me a while to figure out the payment system but it’s not too complicated.
Look, if you’re in this situation, you’ll probably find NCIC really helpful. It’s not perfect – the video quality can be a bit iffy sometimes and the app can be glitchy – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you need to stay connected.
