Distance shouldn't break a family connection
There are over 6,000+ families separated by incarceration throughout the state of DC. A simple photo can remind someone that they are loved, remembered, and not alone.
Flikshop helps families stay connected through meaningful photo mail, bridging the distance with something real you can hold.
Flikshop is approved by D.C. Department of Corrections.
Real Photos. Real Connections.

"Flikshop was founded because I experienced incarceration myself and understand how important family connection can be. My mother's photos that she sent me saved my life while I was in prison."
