Jouhmette salim was just 7 years old when her mom was locked up on drug related charges.This was a challenging moment in her life as she never understood what was going on.She used to visit her mom with her father and at times she would write letters to her mom while in prison.Something was clearly amiss.She never felt that closeness despite writing letters to her mom.It came to a point where she became tied to her classes and the co curriculum activities and eventually lost 'connection'.But today things have changed thanks to technology.
Technology is shortening the distance and making relatives or loved ones feel close thanks to the ConnectInmateapp.Instead of writing letters the old-fashioned way, relatives and loved ones can send a text or email and even attach real time photos from their cellphones(smartphones) to ConnectInmate , which then prints out correspondence and photos and sends them to the prisoner via the U.S. Postal Service.The respective prisoner can then respond via letter which is sent to the relatives or close ones.(How I really wish the prisoner would also send his or her photos as of that time). This brings about that 'closeness' between the prisoner and his loved ones and also saves on time and distance the relatives could have spent on going to visiting the prisoner. But at the end of it all,its important to visit your loved one in prison so that human feel or connection is not lost.
