Ummmmm, the Post Office gets it there? Most likely, since criminals have voluntarily given up their rights (by violating the rights of others!) those letters will be read by officials before getting to your criminal.

It is a federal felony offense.  You should inform your local postmaster along with the police and let them handle it.

I send stamps to two different California prisons. It depends on the prison but if he asked you to send them, then he's probably at a place where it is allowed.\nVisit the forum for your state at http://www.prisontalk.com to get more definite answers or just call the mailroom at his prison and ask them what you can and can't send in the mail.

As far as I know, you are arrested, held over for trial (preliminary hearing comes first), you then hear your charges & make your plea guilty or not guilty. You are then given a date for your trial to start & in between, you will have other hearings, called bail hearings, to find out how much it's gonna cost you to get out until you actually go to trial.  If you have no money for bail, then you stay there until the trial starts, which takes months.  I don't know why you, a relative, would not be permitted to enter the courtroom.  Are you a minor?  Perhaps she didn't want you to hear some of the things that were being said or she doesn't want you involved with her case because it could cost you your life.  Especially if she is or was associating with  people in the drug industry.  She should have a Public Defender & they should be able to answer your questions with her written permission.  Call them & ask.  Remember, the District Attorney is on the side of the People, which would be the Police who arrested her, so be careful what you say to them, because they could associate you with the wrong element & you could end up in as much trouble as she is in.  Chances are, she is being held for her own safety.  You can have her call you collect, or write her a letter if you cannot visit her.  You will need to call the jail & get her booking number to put on the letter.  Also, you will need to send it in a post office envelope that has the stamp pre-printed on it.  Most jails won't accept anything with a stick-on stamp on the envelope!

http://www.doc.missouri.gov/offender_search.htm\n\nThat link will get you to Missouri's DOC inmate inquiry page, with instructions on how to make an inquiry. They don't have automated offender search tools available but may email the Department with your inquiry and a response will be provided to you, usually within 24 hours of receipt during regular business hours.\n\nGood luck

yes, its tampering with others mail. and it is considered a federal offense, if it dont belong to you and the person doesnt live there you need to return to sender.

If you are sending the book to a Federal Correctional Facility or FCF, you have to go to a bookstore and pay for the books and have them shipped to the inmate from the store. They will give you the proper forms to fill out. I don't know how it works with the county and state facilities.

According to 18 USC 1702: "Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."\n\nBasically, if you open or destroy someone else's mail before it gets to them, then you're guilty of this crime and could be imprisoned up to 5 years or fined.

If you don't have friends or family members in this prison I would highly recommend that you do not locate this prison and do not contact anyone from the inside...my sister did this once and had a correspondence with an inmate and was conned out of hundreds of dollars for this person's commissary....please don't get mixed up into that....you'll regret it...that's why they call them CONS !!!!

At the very least you would be evicted.  You would never get the autograph you are seeking.  You may also go to jail.

You write a letter to them the same way you write a letter to anyone else.\n\nThe chance of them actually reading your letter is roughly the same as being struck by snowballs in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

You need to be more specific about your question.  There are circumstances where the USPS can legally withhold your mail and there are circumstances where a court can issue a mail withholding order.  Prison officials can withhold mail from inmates under circustances if the content is deemed approproriate or unsafe.
