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.
