Russia’s prisons administration has launched a smartphone application to send mail to inmates, a prison official said. The mobile application, called ‘fsin-pismo’, operates on the iOS and Android platforms and can be used to send messages to an inmate at a particular prison or correction facility.
The prison will check and censor the message and then hand a printout to the inmate in question, said Alexander Polkin, deputy chief of Moscow's SIZO-5 Pretrial Detention Center.
The application can also be used to send photos. A similar service for emails has been provided since 2008. The service is unique and has no counterpart in the world.
