All inmates are allowed to receive mail. More importantly inmates are allowed to write you.
Mail is considered sacred in a prison, detention center or jail. There is even a program for indigent inmates at every facility where they supply paper, pencil, envelopes and stamps. Whether the inmate has money on their books or not, there is no reason why an inmate cannot keep in touch if they want.
