How to Send an Inmate Mail
 Sending mail to an inmate is rather easy, as long as you follow a few basic rules and of course the rules of the prison or jail where the inmate is incarcerated. Loneliness is a terrible thing to face every day and your letter or card will really cheer up your inmate. Research indicates that inmates who receive open communication from friends and family have a better chance on making it on the outside.
We'll at first talk about what not to send. Since this being the easiest - you'll also want to consult with the prison or jail to discover for yourself what is and is not allowed. You can use our "Inmate Search" system to pull up info about any prison in the world. If they have a visitor info section it will be listed.
Rule of thumb - if you think something can be placed within the folds of some letters, cards or gifts - dont bother sending it.
General tips for what NOT to send an inmate:
- Letters or cards with yarn or ribbon attached
- Cards that are padded or puffy
- Laminated greeting cards or ID
- Maps or detailed information about surrounding prison area
