TABLETS

Connection & Resources within Reach

Across 700,000 tablets, ViaPath connects incarcerated individuals to the people, educational programs, wellness resources, and entertainment that support daily life and preparation for the future. Family and friends can help expand access to eligible paid content by providing tablet funds.

More Access. More Opportunity.

Tablets provide one place to communicate, learn, manage daily needs, and prepare for the future, helping incarcerated individuals stay engaged and connected.

Help Support Their Tablet Time

Visit the incarcerated person’s services page through myViaPath to contribute to available paid services, including movies, music, games, and more. You can fund the incarcerated individuals account or add money directly to their tablet account tied to their device.

Extend Their Circle of Support

Each incarcerated individual has a personalized service page that you can share with their community, making it easy for supporters to fund eligible tablet services on their behalf.
