No, your husband will not be able to see photos posted on his profile.

Inmates do not have access to the internet, so anything uploaded to an online profile cannot be viewed by them inside the facility.

The only reliable way for him to see photos is:

  • Sending them through the mail
  • Using a service like InmateAid to print and deliver the photos

Once printed and mailed, he will receive them as physical pictures during mail call.

About rare exceptions:
There are occasional situations where inmates get access to contraband phones, but that is not something you can count on, and it is not a safe or reliable way for him to see anything online.

Best way to make sure he sees them:

  • Send the photos directly through mail or InmateAid
  • Include a letter so he knows what he is looking at

If you want him to see those pictures of you and the kids, sending them as printed photos is the way to make sure they get into his hands.
