Description

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.

Confused 🫤

If I could do zero stars I would it’s an absolute nightmare this app like. I find myself using the online version as this does not refresh and it still says it’s sending an email from 1 month ago!! I haven’t received anything on it for months either but I have received about 10 since on the online version?? Please either scrap it and start again from scratch or sack your developers. This is my contact with my other half and I know I’m not alone in saying how much it means to receive one of these emails so the service should at least work. For some people it’s their only contact so howay man get it sorted as it’s more than useless. Yes I’ve deleted and reinstalled and the same problem. Please sort this out especially with how widely on prisons this is rolled out it should at least work. If I relied on this solely I would seriously think something was wrong or something had happened to my other half by no contact for a month!!

App full of errors

I thought it may have been something I did or my internet connection a bit dodge! However on reading the other review on here, seems this app full of bugs/ issues. I cannot tell you how many times I have spent serious amounts of time, composing an email - only to find after a very prolonged ‘sending process’ the email just vanishes!! Really frustrating. I wanted to sign up for the ‘neat-phone’ facility, but even that seems plagued with problems - as keeps flagging message ‘connection problems’ and searches for ‘something?’ Continuously. So can’t be relied upon?
It’s a shame as initially it was great, but after several months it began failing and continues to do so!
I have emailed developer describing the problems, but they not got back to me. So it’s a great idea/ super app - but poorly executed. 👎
