Subject: Send inmate mail
No to both, and these are hard prohibitions rather than flexible guidelines. Inmates are not permitted to communicate directly with other inmates at other facilities, whether through email, letters, or any other channel. The concern is obvious: unchecked inmate-to-inmate communication across facilities creates serious risks around coordination of criminal activity, gang communication, intimidation of witnesses, and other security threats. The system is designed to prevent it.
Money transfers between inmates are equally prohibited. Inmates cannot send funds to each other's accounts....

Subject: Sentence reduction
All inmates receive "good time credits" when they begin their sentence. Usually, that is 15% and that is the most it can be, it can only lessen by bad behavior. The one way for early release is if the inmate has information about another crime or criminal enterprise that would lead to the prosecution and conviction of another.
