When sending books to your husband, you must use his facility address, not your home address.
Here is how to do it correctly:
- Enter your husband’s name and inmate ID number
- Use the prison’s mailing address as the shipping address
- Your name and billing address stay tied to your payment method
Important rules to follow:
- Books must come directly from a publisher or retailer like Amazon
- Do not send books yourself. They will be rejected
- Choose new books, not used or third-party seller items
- Most facilities prefer paperbacks and limit how many you can send
Shipping notes:
- The package will show:
- The retailer as the sender
- The prison as the destination
- You cannot add personal notes or special labels inside
Extra tip:
Call the facility before ordering to confirm:
- Paperback vs hardcover rules
- Quantity limits
- Any specific restrictions
Bottom line:
Always ship
