InmateAid actually works! We've been around for a long time and have no complaints. Everything we do focuses on helping you, help your inmate. The services are not necessarily unique, they are just in one spot to keep you organized and make it much more convenient than trying to do so without us. If you use our phone service, we get you a local number to the prison that will ring on your current cellphone. You will NEVER miss a call. What can we help you with?
