Inmates can use the commissary once a week as soon as they are there as long as there is money in their trust account. Letters are much the same thing, the stamps are bought at the commissary so once there is a account funded, the inmate may shop once a week.
We estimate that it takes 2-3 business
days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads each piece
of mail and inspects it for
contraband. Any delay that occurs at the facility is out of our control. We
make no guarantees as to how long it will take as there are thousands of
facilities and none of them do things the same way.Please be patient, if the ID number and facility are correct
we are 100% reliable. Mail call is Monday - Friday in most places.
