CorrLinks is a way for family and friends to communicate with their loved ones incarcerated in prison. Established through a relationship between a corrections agency and ATG, this system allows family and friends to subscribe to the CorrLinks services and send money or email messages to the institution.
When the corrections agency subscribes to CorrLinks' two-way mail service, the inmate receives the message on a computer within the prison. They are able to read, print and respond to messages electronically. All messages are delivered to the sending family/friends via Internet email. The inmates do not receive access to the Internet.
When the corrections agency subscribes to CorrLinks' one-way mail service, the institution prints and delivers the messages via internal mail services. The sending family member does not need to write/print or mail the message and wait for USPS deliery.
Certain agencies also allow inmates to receive money electronically. CorrLinks makes this possible by providing friends and family with access to Western Union's vast network of agents and website, enabling them to send money quickly and easily to the institution. In most cases, money is deposited from CorrLinks to the institution within 24 hours.

I have added the link on the blog, since it appears that you will be required to login each time you send an email or money.
Is this CorrLinks going to replace the Trulincs already in place in some institutions? If they are doing away with snail mail then how are we to send pictures to our loved ones?
I seems that replacement of trulincs is probable. According to the website they could replace the usps services. But, from what I have seen and heard I think that BoP isn't going to do that at this time. I think they are just changing contractors for the email services.
