“Ask the Inmate” is not a direct communication link to a particular inmate; it is a question and answer forum between you and a former inmate who knows how things work on the inside. To communicate, you can write letters, postcards or send photos - you will have to go to your My Account area and click on the Inmate Page and then click "Letters". You will be able to communicate with them through there.

It depends on the total bail set at the hearing

Yes they can. Inmates do not have access to the Internet. They send you the letter through our service - we receive them, scan them and place them in your My Account area for retrieval. This service is beneficial for people who want their home address private.  

Getting approved at one facility does not automatically carry over to others unless they are in the same system (state or federal), then you would be approved across all locations.

It depends on the Statements of Fact entered into the plea or the Pre-Sentence Report prior to receiving sentence for a conviction.

As you may or may not be aware, we are not a money transfer company. We have a simple solution that we offer for our international members. We will arrange to deposit any amount in an inmate account - you decide the method.    We charge a service fee on top of whatever service charge Western Union charges plus the credit card merchant fee. The fees are steep but there are limited places to get money transferred from abroad. You email us what

Most facilities have rules regarding books. Some have no limit, others do not. The most prevailing arrangement is that they allow an inmate to receive as many books as they want, but they must store the majority of them in the facility library. Storage is not plentiful in the living quarters but they encourage reading and self-improvement. Books and education are the best "escapes" for an inmate.

NO you cannot send any kind of electronic device into an inmate.  But many facilities will allow your inmate to purchase them at the commissary

yes, as long as you have been approved
