I am not receiving emails from LegalAccessPlus.com. How do I fix this?

If you are not receiving emails from us, your email provider is most likely flagging our emails as “spam” or “junk mail”. This is a very simple fix. Log in to your email, and check to see if you have a folder titled “spam” or “junk.” Look through that file until you find the email from legalaccessplusinfo@gmail.com. Highlight the email and look at the options; select “not spam,” “never block,” or a similar term along these lines. Every email provider has an option like this. Once you make this change, you should start receiving our emails again.

We have thousands of emails, and we work very hard to reply to all questions in the order they are received. However, if your email is outside our scope of practice, answered on our website, or jsut conversational exchanges, you may not receive a reply. We do not engage in purely conversational exchanges.

I think an inmate falsified their profile, What should I do?

LegalAccessPlus.com is not responsible for the truthfulness of any content or representations made by an inmate. All inmates must declare under penalty of perjury per Federal Law 28 USC 1746, that all information provided is true.

If an inmate's profile has expired, can it be retrieved?

No. Once a profile expires, all content is purged from our system, and the inmate must re-apply.

Is an inmate's profile placed on the AccessPlus Facebook page?

Yes, but only if you purchase the Gold Package.

Our site functions as a platform for wrongfully convicted inmates to make their stories heard in the form of a picture and 500 word summary, that we will add to our network(s). We do not relay any communications generated on our networks to the prisoners or their friends and family.

Is it a requirement to post a photo with the profile?

If the inmate doesn’t provide a photo right away, we will automatically use their photo which was published as public information on their corresponding State or Government entities (jail, prison, etc) website. We then allow 1 free photo update sent to us by the prisoner or his family or friend. Only the inmate can be featured in the photo. If neither of these are available, we will post a smiley face until a photo becomes available.
