How to share an inmate profile with family

Sharing your brother’s InmateAid profile with family is simple, but each person will need to set up their own account first. This keeps communication secure and ensures everyone can manage their own letters, photos, and services.

Once a family member creates and confirms their account, they can search for your brother by name using the InmateAid inmate search. When they find his profile, they just need to click “Follow Inmate” on his page. That adds them to his circle, giving them access to send letters, postcards, photos, and other approved items.

A helpful tip is to build out his profile as much as possible. You can add preferences like books, magazines, or newspapers he enjoys. This works a lot like a gift registry, making it easier for family members to choose something meaningful to send without guessing.

Using InmateAid this way keeps everyone connected and organized, especially when multiple people want to stay in touch and support him consistently.
