Overview
How Stay Connected+ works.
Two clear paths, depending on whether you're signing up someone you love or starting a pen-pal connection. Pick yours below.
For Loved Ones
Signing up someone you care about
Family, friends, or close ones who want to keep an incarcerated loved one connected with the outside world.
- Tell us about your loved one (name, facility)
- Choose services (messaging, photos, care credits)
- We verify & set up with the facility
- You start sending love & support
For Outside Users
Connecting with an inmate
People from the outside who'd like to start a respectful pen-pal connection.
- Create an account with a display name
- Verify your identity (one-time, secure)
- Browse opt-in profiles
- Send your first friendly letter
Not sure which path?
If you have someone specific in mind, you're a Loved One. If you'd like to write to someone new, you're an Outside User.
