These companies let you upload photos online, they print them and forward them to the inmate, meanwhile they are charging you ten times the amount it costs to just do it yourself. Unfortunately, photos are another area that some online companies exploit. Additionally, when an inmate receives a photo it can let them see the things you have been discussing with them in letters or over the phone.the offender can see what that new car, boat, baby, pet, or vacation you took actually looks like, think of it as old fashioned Instagram. First, most facilities let you hold on to your photos and you can put them up in your cell, keep them as a bookmark, or just carry the photo with you to give you inspiration throughout the day. Photos are great to receive when your incarcerated for many reasons. If there is one thing an inmate loves more than getting a letter in the mail, it's getting photos. If your letter is refused/returned you can contact the facility and ask why, but usually it will have a simple explanation provided.Never write anything in the letters that you wouldn't want a third party to read (all mail is inspected and read by staff).

Any drawings or markings that can be misconstrued as secret code etc.Don't use perfume or any other fragrance.Never use marker, crayon, glitter, glue, stickers or lipstick on the letter or envelope.Some things you should never do when sending a letter, as it will result in the letter being rejected: Besides the fact that it is a rip-off, it really takes the best part out of receiving a letter.It may be hard to understand, but when an inmate receives a letter that is penned by hand it is much more personal, and can give the sense of a connection to whomever is writing the letter. What the majority of these companies do, is print out the letters you type and mail it in with a stamp, meanwhile they charge you double, even triple or more to mail and it arrives no faster then if you just sent it yourself. Don't be fooled this is all a scam as no inmates have access to the internet or any instant messaging services (with the exception of digital mail services, which I will discuss below). One of the big scams out there that I have been noticing is various "Inmate Service" companies that claim you can contact your inmate online, or send them a message through their website. Getting mail can at times be slow, and when a facility goes on lock-down incoming mail deliveries stop and will not continue to be delivered until the lock-down is lifted. In prison and jail, there are few things to look forward to, and mail is one of them. Often times inmates can hardly wait to get that next letter delivered from the mail room. They keep you going from day to day and bring the voices or those you love right into your head. It may not seem like much to someone on the outside, but when you are incarcerated letters are your lifeblood. If at anytime you are unsure of what you can send, contact the facility over the telephone using the numbers provided on our site.
At no time should you attempt to mail an inmate anything else, such as jewelery, personal items etc, as they will likely be confiscated as contraband. For the most part these are the only items that can be mailed to an inmate (with the exception of Holiday packages). It will cover mailing letters, photos, books, cards, magazines and newspapers.
