How do you write a letter to the prison warden requesting approval for visitatio?

Answer 1

Use a standard business letter format, for example:

Return Address of Sender

Date

Name of person addressed, Warden

Name of Facility

Address of Facility

City, State, Zip (or equivalent depending on country)

Dear Warden (Name),

First paragraph: one sentence or two, stating why you are writing: I am writing to request visitation privileges for prisoner (name).

Second paragraph: give the facts and information supporting your request: State the reasons that the prisoner (or you) deserve or should be permitted visitation. (Be brief and factual; don't use emotional language or go off the target of your request.)

Third paragraph: tell the addressee what you want them to do or what you want to happen (this is called the 'call to action paragraph'). State any dates that may be important. Give the information for the warden to contact you (if you are not the prisoner, your phone number, mailing address, email address) at the end to be sure it's easy for the warden to find it. Always end a business letter by thanking the recipient for their time and effort.

Sincerely,

Signature
