The jail can't but the warden in charge of mail can. It is standard policy to check mail for messages of an illegal nature or for information that could incrimidate. They don't read it just to be nosey.

Yes. All inmates in the US may send and receive mail. There are restrictions on what an inmate may receive; these are specific to the facility and the particular Department of Corrections in which the inmate is housed. For the specifics, contact the actual facility where the offender is kept. Additionally, outgoing mail is not subject to search or review provided there is no security threat that has been identified. All incoming mail, however, is inspected. Some may be read, however the shear volume of mail received by any US facility makes it logistically impossible for all mail to be read. Generally speaking, if it isn't suspicious, it will pass the initial scrutiny.
