Can you send a present to an inmate?

No, not in the way you are probably picturing.

No, not in the way you are probably picturing. You can send things that are "gifts" but in the form of what may be sent into a detention facility. [Sending a Letter](https://www.inmateaid.com/letters) with lots of photos is a great way to make an inmate's day. [Magazine subscriptions](https://www.inmateaid.com/shop/magazines) are the gift that keeps on giving, month after month all year long. Books, money and phone time are also great ways to show that you care.
