How to fill out inmate mail and incoming

How to fill out inmate mail and incoming:

1. Obtain the correct mailing address for the correctional facility where the inmate is located. This information can usually be found on the facility's website or by contacting the facility directly.
2. Use a standard envelope and write the inmate's full name, ID number (if available), and the facility's address on the front of the envelope. Make sure to use legible handwriting and include any necessary additional information, such as the inmate's housing unit or cell number.
3. Check the facility's rules and regulations regarding incoming mail. Some facilities have specific guidelines on what can and cannot be sent to inmates. It's important to follow these rules to avoid any issues.
4. If required, mark the envelope as "Legal Mail" or "Special Mail" if the contents fall under those categories. This is often necessary for privileged or confidential correspondence.
5. Write a return address on the upper left corner of the envelope. This is important in case the mail cannot be delivered to the inmate and needs to be returned.
6. Seal the envelope securely to ensure that the contents are protected during transit. Avoid using excessive tape or glue that may cause issues when the mail is being inspected.
7. If necessary, include postage on the envelope. Some facilities require the sender to pre-pay for the postage, while others may have agreements with the postal service for free inmate mail.
8. Finally, drop the mail off at a post office or mailbox. Make sure to allow enough time for the mail to reach its destination, as the delivery process may take longer for inmate mail compared to regular mail.
