Is it really free?
Yep! Ameelio believes that staying connected with your loved ones and paying for basic needs shouldn't be a tradeoff. You'll never have to pay for a video or voice call with us.

So, what is Ameelio anyway?
Ameelio is a nonprofit, and our mission is to build free-to-use communications technology to create a more humane and rehabilitative corrections system. You may recognize the name from our free mailing app 'Ameelio Mail: Photos to Prison', but we're only getting started.

When will Ameelio Connect be available in my facility?
If your loved one isn't incarcerated at facilities offering our service, don't worry too much. Ameelio is working hard with policymakers and correctional departments across the US and globally to make free video and voice calling a reality for everyone!

* US states with facilities offering Ameelio services currently include Iowa, Indiana, Colorado, and Illinois.
** In order to use the service, you must first receive authorization from the facility as an approved visitor.
