Does holidays slow down the process of receiving letters

The delays during holiday times are normal but they are not usually too long. Normally there are longer delays once inside the mail room as the staff reads all the letters and decides what gets handed out and what gets rejected. As long as your letter has the correct inmate ID number and the correct facility and does not contain content relating to what they deem to be unacceptable, you'll have no problems. But be mindful that prison makes their own rules and we cannot do anything but try and stay as close to what they want as possible. We advise our members to keep the communication to family issues and not things about crime, pending cases, gang related issues, drugs, etc.  More than one occasion communication from the outside has made its way into the courtroom as evidence.
