Yesterday I took a look at some of the limitations applied to prisoners sending letters with specific attention on how staff are meant to handle correspondence. Today I’ll focus on the limitations around who a prisoner may send letters to and what they may send out.
I often send postcards to Prisoners, often whom i only vaguely know and sometimes not at all. Obviously, I don’t put my address on the card. Are you aware if these would be allowed through by the censor? (just colourful cards with encouraging words)
Well, technically prisons wouldn’t have to give postcards to prisoners if they have no return address on them, but most do allow such mail in, provided the content is not questionable. It is not certain though and, if there is no return address, I guess you would never find out if they got to the prisoner or not.
A very nice thought which can brighten up the day though. Nice one.
