- Find the person you want to write to and add them as a contact.
- Buy a book of stamps. The price per stamp is shown once you pick the person, because it varies by facility.

- The person inside cannot message you until you have added them and sent the first message.
Arkansas: Arkansas DOC describes the tablet eMessaging app as where scanned postal mail is delivered (via the digital mail center); the page does not describe a separate e-message sign-up.
