Free Inmate Locator Service

Automatically notifies you when an inmate has been moved to a new facility by batch querying the inmate locator daily.

Why? Because families and friends often spend a lot of time and effort trying to track movements through the system. This is especially difficult with political prisoners, prisoners with mental health issues, etcetera.

Email or sms notifications.

Web-based letter sending service

A service could be offered that would allow folks to send letters up to three pages for a dollar, using a service such as https://www.trypaper.com/.

The APIs we have would ensure proper address information would be used, and that folks could look up a prisoner by their inmate number, name, etc and the sending address would be exact. Allowing embeddable buttons and such would be great for campaign sites.

Services

Non-profit wire transfer service

The BOP API is used by private companies to provide wire transfer services for sending commossiary. A little investigation and initial development could yield some interesting information about how this is done.

ACH Transfers could be used with some (all?) facilities.
