Send Inmate Mail

Do I have to send post cards or do they except real letters?

In Reno Nevada you have to send a pre-stamped postcard as a letter to your loved ones, my husband just got sentenced yesterday to prison I'm not sure when he will go but my question is when he gets to prison am I allowed to send him a actual letter like a whole page of regular paper my own envelope? Obviously a post card you don't get to write much so do I still have to send post cards or do they except real letters?

You may communicate with an inmate at any time via the U.S. mail. They receive daily deliveries from the U.S. Postal Service. INCOMING AND OUTGOING MAIL WILL BE RESTRICTED TO POSTCARDS. THIS POLICY WILL NOT APPLY TO LEGAL CORRESPONDENCE.INMATES MAY RECEIVE MAGAZINES AND/OR BOOKS IF THEY COME DIRECTLY FROM THE PUBLISHER OR A BOOKSTORE, NO HARDBACKS ARE ACCEPTED.InmateAid will be launching a New Postcard service that will be available for use next month. We are excited about it and it will be a perfect solution for you as you will be able to write your inmate and also affix photos to the postcard.
