We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail.

We estimate that it takes
2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads
each piece of mail and
inspects it for contraband. Any delay that occurs at the facility is out of our
control. We make no guarantees as to how long it will take as there are
thousands of facilities and none of them do things the same way.Please be patient, if the
ID number and facility are correct we are 100% reliable. Mail call is Monday -
Friday in most places.
