Subject: Send inmate mail
We strongly recommend having the inmate ID for all mail correspondence because the staff can reject mail without it. That is not to say they will, but some are more strict with the rules and will use any reason to send things back. We have corrected this in your account and would be more than happy to resend any of them. The ones without an ID go back to 3-28-16. Let us know if he received them, if not we...

Most inamtes do their time without ever having to fear for their safety. Others seem to find conflict at every turn. A lot has to do with the type of person that inmate is, are they argumentative, are they mouthy and challenge everything people do? Obviously, the more that the inmate keeps to themselves and is not disrespectful to others, the more peace they will have. The guards in most instances are well trained and have empathy for the offenders...

They will have to tell you. The jails do not report back that incoming mail was received. If there are any issues we will resend with no questions asked. Normally it takes 2-3 business days but the staff ultimately has the responsibility of deciding when they hand out the mail. Delays happen sometimes without notice.
Subject: Marriage in prison
It depends on where they are incarcerated and how long their sentence is. Usually, inmates with short sentences are not permitted to marry while locked up.

Subject: Sentencing questions
We do not have the release dates on some inmates. You might try calling the facility and ask to speak with the case manager, counselor or unit team secretary to get more information.
Subject: Send inmate mail
Yes, that is no problem :)) We would refrain from speaking about the crime he was convicted of or what you think about law enforcement.
Subject: Sex offenders
We are not sure about the cost of your divorce as it relates to your status as "underprivileged". But the concept of divorce sounds like a very good idea. As the father, we suspect the best he could hope for would be supervised visits if the children are under 18. If they are over 18 when he is released, they can surely make up their own mind
Subject: Medical treatment
When inmates are first brought in, they will go through a series of examinations. They will see a nurse and a therapist that will evaluate their inmate's medical requirements. If it is determined that a mental health program is necessary, they will place them in the requisite program. Your having a "signed waiver" does not give you any rights to make determinations on an incarcerated person. The offender is now property of the state and there is not much you...

Yes it does, very well. But please be mindful that InmateAid's service is not a replacement for the service at Putnam County Jail, they use Securus. If you live in Indiana, your inmate calls have been $9.00 plus tax per 15-minute call. With a number from InmateAid, we can get the calls down to only $3.15 - you will still be paying Securus for the calls, but the $6.00 per call savings pays our $19.95 fee in less than four...
