The mail is processed immediately upon purchase. We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to reach the facility mail room. Once there, the staff opens and inspects all postage before deeming them ready for distribution to your inmate at mail call. We mail thousands and thousands of letters with very few problems. If your inmate's ID number and location are correct we are confident that they will receive it.

The designation FCI does not mean that you are not going to the camp. The actual description is FCI Aliceville Satellite Camp.

The restrictions on the type of photos that will be allowed inside the facility are ones where there are no private parts exposed (bikini, lingerie are permissible), no drugs or alcohol in the picture, no gang depictions and they are also sensitive to pictures of young children.
