Field notes
A sender texts a dedicated GoodWordText number from any phone that can send SMS; replies from the incarcerated recipient return as texts. The page says users can also request paper mail, photo prints, greeting cards, or article lookups, with some add-on prices listed. Church-sponsored seats use codes, and the site says sponsors do not enter family phone numbers or see message contents.
