How were the mamluk and janissaries different in "recruitment", social standard, was contact with back home allowed? Were all converted to Islam in both organizations?

Mamluks were trained then manumitted by their master, whereas Janissaries were lifelong slaves I believe. Mamluks in the Mamluk Sultanate could not only become Sultan but were also the major Amirs, who in turn could own, raise, and lead their own army of Mamluks.
The Janissaries belonged to the Ottoman Sultan only, and were not elevated to the ranks of governors or princes, I think.
