Practical Tips

• ✓ Use a sealed letter instead of a postcard if you want more privacy in what you write.
• ✓ Double-check the inmate’s full name and ID number before you mail anything.
• ✓ Don’t send irreplaceable originals (one-of-a-kind photos or keepsakes) through the mail if you can’t afford for them to be lost or damaged.
• ✓ If you’re sending something meaningful, keep a copy for yourself (photo scan or duplicate print) so the message isn’t gone if the original doesn’t make it.
