how long after intake does it take for an inmate to get mail

Inmates go through an Admission and Orientation before they are allowed telephone calls and visitation. Once they are situated (a couple of days up to 2 weeks) they may submit lists for both that require some approval. Be patient, all of the facilities have their own rules and procedures. Inmates get mail Monday through Friday. The staff opens and inspects all mail for contraband - this sometimes delays the process too.
