You’re on the right track, and yes, you can absolutely reach him.

Sending a letter
You can mail him at the address you have for FCI Pollock. Just make sure you include:

  • His full name
  • His 8 digit register number (format: XXXXX-XXX)

Without that ID number, mail can be delayed or returned.

You can also use InmateAid to type your letter online and have it printed and mailed for you.

Can he get mail “on the web”?
No. Inmates do not have internet access, so they cannot read messages online directly.

However, the Federal Bureau of Prisons uses an email system called CorrLinks:

  • He has to add you and send you an invitation
  • You create an account and can exchange messages through that system
  • It is monitored and not instant like regular email

How he can call you

  • He must add your phone number to his approved call list
  • You need to set up an account with the BOP phone provider (usually through ConnectNetwork)
  • Once approved and funded, he can call you

Important tips

  • Always include your return address in letters
  • Keep content within mail rules
  • Be patient, mail can take a few days plus processing time

Bottom line
Write him using the correct address and his ID number, wait for him to invite you to CorrLinks, and set up your phone account so he can call once he is ready.
