The Letters from Inmates Service are only $1.89 per mail piece. The inmate is using the InmateAID physical address to receive the mail. We then scan the contents into a file that you access in your My Account Dashboard. A lot of our best customers like having the privacy of their home address for safety reasons. Addresses get in the hands of other inmates and this Service removes that potential problem.

This is going to depend on the number of people affected by the crime, the amount of money "lost" from the actions of the defendant and their criminal history are all mitigating factors in the sentence determination. It could be years frankly.

The answer depends on one critical document: the Judgment and Commitment Order signed by the sentencing judge.
If that order includes a parole provision, your person could be looking at a parole hearing in about 32 months. Missouri's parole board evaluates cases based on conduct while incarcerated, completion of recommended programming, and the nature of the original offense. A nonviolent first-time offender with a clean institutional record presents a strong case for release at the earliest eligible point.

Subject: Medical treatment
Hospital visits and extended medical care are generally covered by the facility at no charge to the inmate. If someone needs to be transported to an outside hospital for treatment that cannot be handled on site, that cost does not come out of their commissary account.
Medication prescribed during a hospital stay or as part of ongoing treatment is typically provided without charge as well. The facility has a constitutional obligation to provide adequate medical care, and that obligation extends to...

Having done federal time myself, the honest answer is that federal is generally better, but the comparison is more nuanced than most people realize.
First, on your question about the population being international, that is not accurate as a general rule. Federal prisons house American citizens convicted of federal crimes alongside some non-citizens, but the population is not predominantly foreign nationals. Federal crimes include non-violent drug trafficking, white collar offenses, RICO charges, human trafficking, child endangerment, terrorism, and any criminal activity...

There is no real-time delivery confirmation, and that is true of the US Postal Service generally rather than anything specific to InmateAid. Once a letter enters the mail stream and passes through a facility's mailroom, there is no automated receipt sent back to the sender. That is simply how physical mail works.
What you do have is a reliable system with a track record going back to April 2012. InmateAid has processed an enormous volume of mail over that time with...
