Helpful inmate-mail rules

Letter length
The published 10-page limit applies to non-personal correspondence, not the writer's own letter. Check before sending an unusually long letter; up to 30 pictures are allowed.
Paper format
Use flat, clearly legible pages suitable for scanning. Keep non-personal printed material to 10 pages per envelope.
Envelope and address
Include the full resident name and resident number, plus a legible, legitimate sender name and return address.
How it arrives
Securus scans accepted content for the resident's player. The ordinary physical original is not delivered.
