Yes, you just enclose it with a regular letter, I always write on the outside of the envelope  "Money Order Enclosed" You CAN NOT send a personal check and it’s best to send a U.S. Postal Money Order. Make the M.O. payable to your inmate and include his housing #, bunk #, Facility address, City and State. (M.O.s are applied to the inmates trust account within 1-2 weeks of receipt. As of Jan 01, 2005 the CDC takes 44% of all funds sent to an inmate for the CA victims restitution fund. Effective Jan 01, 2007 this amount will increase to 55%. You may include your M.O.s in letters to your inmate and it is removed by the mailroom.)\n\nAnd any question you have about NKSP can be answered here... http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=648

they are allowed to write back it they ahve a postage stamp a plain white piece of paper and a pen.  usually you can go to the jails property room and sign in $5 for your friend to buy the writing supplies to correspond with you.  I've been dealing a friends bi-polar son wh can't seem to hold hit sh*t together very well.

If the letter is going to a mil. base standard postage will do, as far as the package your local post offfice will help you.

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.

Actually, most states in America participate in the Interstate Compact Agreement - which permits states to send inmates from one state to another.  I can't tell from your post whether you live in Los Angeles or Louisiana, but you should know that Louisiana's states laws are different, because they are based upon the Napoleonic laws, not the English common law that the rest of the US is based on.  May sound like a silly thing, but it can make a big difference.\n\nThe first thing I would do is contact the prison authorities in PA and ask if they participate in the Interstate Compact Agreement.  If so, your brother can go ahead and begin the paperwork himself.  There are often costs for this, such as your family having the pay for the transport costs of your brother and escorting prison officers, but if that's worth it to you, go ahead and get the ball rolling.  You can contact the Main Office at (717) 975-4859, and start asking questions there.   Good Luck.

To get the visiting application (Form CDC-106) the inmate you want to visit has to send it to you, with his signature on it, you fill it out and send it back to him, he turns it in to be processed...if you are NOT approved, the prison will tell you why, if you ARE approved, they tell him and he tells you.\nHere is the home page for Pelican Bay, http://www.cya.ca.gov/Visitors/fac_prison_PBSP.html\nand here is a link to a group that can answer specific questions you have about the facility http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=196\nIncluding tons of information about where to stay, what you can and can't send, how to get there and what else there is to do in the area.\nGood luck

it all  depends on where he is in prison and what he is in for which determines his status as minimum, medium or maximum security.  If you call the prison they will direct you to a set of guideline that they have for each prisoner and what they can and cannot receive  it is usually the policy of prisons to let anyone visit the prisoner as long as that prisoner has that person listed on their can visit roster.  having worked in a prison I can say from experience that what many prisoners love is letter and photos  keep the photos clean and cool and they will most likely let them thru  you may get them back but that is determined by what and how much they are allowed to keep.  Try donating a whole box of paperback books to the prison library.  again they will have to pass inspection but if they let them in your bf will become very popular when everyone realizes that he was the reason that they have different books to read.  above all get in touch with the prison if you can arrange it a visit from you would be the best possible thing that could happen just pay attention to the dress code so you don't get turned away  good luck  he is lucky to have you many gfs leave their bfs when they go in and that is harder than being in in the first place

Normally, in jail, an inmate can write to or receive letters from whoever he wants.  They may go through the letter to make sure he or you are not plotting escape, but other than that, shouldn't be a problem.  A lot of time, people are incarcerated with little warning, so you migh want to make sure he has stamps/ writing materials, or the funds with which to purchase them.

http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=294\nYou can post his information for free, lots of people have had really good results...read through some of the other posts to see what kind of information to provide.\nGood luck~! \n\nAnd to those who would consider becoming a penpal... What a lovely thing to do..you'll make someone's day by writing! Be careful though, get a Post Office Box so you don't have to give out your home address to total strangers and don't give out personal information too soon...basically the same rules you follow on the internet to keep safe. And remember that just like on-line, people might not be up-front about who they really are... if it feels like someone is lying or being pushy about a "relationship" drop them.\nWhen you first start writing, don't use any glitter or stickers because many facilities do not allow them.If you're under 18, you might not be allowed to write, some places only let minors write if they are family members(if that's the case writing to an inmate could get HIM in trouble, so don't do it)\nI hope you make a few good friends!

go on the prison service website. there is a bit where you can put in their name and DOB and the reason you want to contact them. They then find the prisoner and ask them if they can pass on their details to you.\n\nGood luck
