- Look for the current mail rules - Check any official facility guidance you have access to so you’re working from the latest rules.
- Call to confirm photo and item limits - Ask what photo types are accepted and whether there are limits on size, quantity, or other restrictions.
- Keep it simple if you’re unsure - When you can’t confirm a detail, stick to a straightforward letter and avoid adding anything that could be considered questionable.
Tip: The published guidelines don't list every prohibited item. Since all mail is inspected, call Mat‑Su Pretrial before including photos or extra enclosures to confirm what's allowed.
