If mail violates the rules, it may be returned, confiscated, or referred for investigation. Many facilities route incoming personal mail through a processing center where letters and photos are scanned and added to a digital fileāthese typically show up on an inmate tablet or kiosk within a few business days. Legal mail follows separate procedures to verify authenticity and screen for contraband while protecting attorney-client confidentiality. Packages are generally limited to approved vendors or sources, and outgoing mail is collected, inspected, then sent through regular postal channels.
