Need to Send a Postcard to Jail? There's An App For That!

Sending postcards to jail just got easier thanks to a new iPhone app called FlikShop. The app allows users to easily create and send personalized postcards to prison inmates in three easy steps.

The app is very simple to use: Select a photo from your iPhone's library, write a personalized message, fill in the prisoner's name, inmate number and select the state and institution you would like the postcard to be mailed to. After a $.99 charge, FlikShop will deliver a glossy, 600dpi postcard with a removable and personalized note to your favorite inmate. Don't have an iPhone? No problem! Just visit Flikshop.com to send a postcard directly from your computer.

Flikshop does not say what is an appropriate image or message to send an inmate, but the website does promise that their postcards are "security-friendly". I'm assuming experienced prison wives know what kind of photos prisoners are allowed to receive.

Thanks to Cult of Mac for discovering this hilarious, yet, useful app!
