OMG YES! If you could see the inmate's faces at mail call, you would know how vitally import getting something. Not to be a commercial, but that is what InmateAid is all about. The services on the site are the ONLY things we can do for our loved ones stuck inside. Letters with great quality photos, postcards where you can upload any picture to the other side of your message, greeting cards for every holiday and meaning, magazine subscriptions - the most popular because the inmate is receiving something every month. And magazines are like a currency inside because not everyone gets them.
