If the inmate will be released before the subscription is up, will they still get the rest of the magazines? I had to purchase 6 months but he will only be there for maybe 2 months so I am wondering where the other 4 magazines I paid for will end up?

If your inmate gets moved or released, simply send us the new address and they will not miss an issue.
