No. The return address on all InmateAid mail is InmateAid's address, not yours. Your personal billing address is never visible to the inmate. The only way an inmate receives your home address is if you choose to include it somewhere in the body of the letter itself.

Privacy is one of the more common concerns for people using InmateAid for the first time, particularly those who are not comfortable with an inmate having their home address. The good news is that the platform is designed with exactly that separation in mind.
