Most inmates do not have access to the Internet or email, they
receive letters through the US Mail. Mail call is done Monday through Friday
only. Inmates that have money on their inmate trust accounts can purchase
stamps and envelopes at the weekly commissary. If they do not have money on
their books, the prison will provide indigent inmates with all the materials
necessary to send out mail to their loved ones.
If your inmate writes to you directly, using your address, the cost of the
mailing is a 49 cent stamp. Many of our members use the Inmate Response Mail service
through InmateAid. Your inmate would write you back to the return address on
the letters which are to the InmateAid corporate offices in Florida. We receive
the letters on your behalf, scan them into your My Account section and notify
you by email that they are waiting for your review. There is a charge of $1.49
for this service. The people that use this service like the security and
privacy this service provides them.
