What Is the Easiest Way to Get in Touch With an Inmate?

A postcard or a letter is the fastest option for reaching someone in prison, and both can be sent from your phone or computer through InmateAid without printing, stamps, or a trip to the post office. InmateAid's office is in Florida and sends mail directly to the facility through the US Postal Service, so turnaround is quick. Click the link to send a postcard or a letter to your inmate.

For a postcard, you can upload a photo and a brief message and send it in a few minutes. For a longer letter, the same process applies. Your home address does not appear on anything that goes into the facility, so your personal information stays private.

Once he receives the letter or postcard, he can add your phone number to his approved call list and reach out from the facility's phone system. That is typically how ongoing contact gets established once you make the first move.
