Depends on if the inmate is in State or Federal custody. Genrally, any mail sent to an inmate is subject to being read prior to delivery to the inmate. Bear that in mind. Almost all facilities have a websitge with these type answers. However, you must address the inmate by legal (not street or nickname) name and include the inmate ID # on the envelope. You must also include your name and return address. Certain things can and cannot be mentioned in letters, depending on the inmate, his conviciton, and of course wheter State or federal facility. Every Federal Inmate since 1980 can be found, whether currently in custody or not. I don't mean "found" as in where they reside if no longer in custody, but their statistics. Go to FBOP.com using Google, and find the website for all federal facilities. You will see an "Inmate Locator" icon. Put in first and last name at a minimum, and any other info you have that is asked for. It will provide the Inmate ID#. This same site will link to every federal corrections facility in the US. Once you dtermine the facility, you can read what paramters are in place for correspondence. Sometimes, mail is witheld from inmates as punishment. Each State facility varies. First determine the state of incarceration. Most states (but not all) have an Inmate Locator and you can use this. But, if you know the actual facility, you can either write, e-mail or search their website for info about writing. Never include cash in a letter Never include pornogrpahic pictures Never discuss the inmates crime or anything about it Never include reading material without determining what is approved and the method it is allowed to reach the inmate. Mail is very important to any inmate. Take the time to write, but also take the time to learn the rules and then you will not risk having your mail returned to you or beng banned from sending mail in the future.
