Some Texas Inmates Can Now Receive E-Mails

Inmates in about a dozen Texas jails can receive e-mails from the outside world even though they don't have Internet access.

Since late last year, the jails are taking advantage of a Dallas-based Web site that allows jail officials to print the e-mails and deliver them to inmates, the Austin American-Statesman reported Sunday.

Jim Sadler, marketing director for Securus Technologies, said the company started testing the e-mail service about two years ago. About a dozen law enforcement agencies in Texas use it, he said.
