Your inmate can send her letter to the InmateAid mailing address instead of your home address.

Your inmate can send her letter to the InmateAid mailing address instead of your home address. This is part of our Letters from Inmates service.
Once her letter arrives, we receive it, scan it, and upload it to your Account Dashboard, where you can read it anytime.
This means you don’t have to share your personal address, which gives you an extra layer of privacy and peace of mind.
The service is optional and costs $1.89 per letter received.
