Absolutely, 100% as long as you selected the correct facility. But even if there was a mistake, or the inmate got transferred, InmateAid will resend the mail again at no charge. The Company has served over fifty million users since 2012.  Read the testimonials, there was one that should give you great comfort: "My nephew was recently moved from a facility to a new one but I had just sent an electronic postcard to the old one & inmateAID

Subject: Send inmate mail

The short answer is "yes", but there is a little more to it. One of the reasons InmateAid offers the Greeting Cards service is that the process follows strict guidelines for incoming mail. Most store-bought cards have glitter or other affixings that might cause it to be rejected in the mail room of the prison. The selection of cards on InmateAid are delivered on a postcard that meets the standards of every facility in the US. For 99 cents each,

Subject: Prison discipline

Most inmates in the SHU are allowed visitation in a limited form. The SHU inmates are allowed mail and one phone 15-minute call per week. The SHU is a nasty existence. Solitary confinement could make anyone a little crazy. When I was there, every minute felt like an hour... time just drips slowly.

Subject: Visitation

No. There are no visitations for former inmates, people on probation, parole or with felonies allowed. They may apply for special dispensation to the warden. The warden is the only person at the facility that can override this very strict rule.

You will need to contact the inmate's counselor and tell them the situation. You will then be able to send the un-signed check to the facility where they will have your inmate endorse the check to be deposited in their commisary/phone account.

Subject: Visitation

Depending on where the visit takes place, the general rule is that you may bring twenty dollars in coins and/or small bills and it must be brought in a clear, see-through purse/container. Some places allow you to bring a little more money, but the rules are still the same. Also, remember that this is to be used for the vending machines, you must make the purchase, don't let the inmate even touch the money whatsoever.

Subject: Pending criminal charges

If this is a state charge, you can contact the Clerk of the Court in the county where they were arrested. If this is a federal charge, you can Google your inmate's name with the word "indictment" to see the FBI's statement on the charges. They love to brag about their conquests so there is no lack of publicity.   If neither of these work, you can use a pay service that has the most accurate and up-to-date arrest information nationwide.

Subject: Relationship issues

Very few relationships make it past 18 months to be totally honest. There are inmates whose girlfriends came to visitation every week, talked on the phone every day, the girlfriend sent money, magazines, books, and the minute they got out they ran, ran, ran. Not sure what the deal is there, but for some reason most ex-inmates have zero loyalty. They get out and just don't want to be tied down to anything. We are not trying to upset you

Subject: Residential drug abuse program (rdap)

RDAP is not available at every federal facility. Most of their detention centers do not have RDAP. In all likelihood, if your inmate is already applied and approved, they will transfer them to a facility that has the program when the inmate is at least 27 months from the door. The program is nine months, there is an automatic 6 months of halfway house (the released inmate must take additional classes during the halfway house stay call TDAP) - since

Subject: Residential drug abuse program (rdap)

There are no federal sentences that force an inmate into drug rehabilitation. Your inmate was NOT sentenced in federal court to do RDAP, if they get it it's great, but it's not a part of the sentence at all. It could be a recommendation but the Federal Bureau of Prisons makes all the decisions, the judge has nothing to do with it once they are property of the BOP. RDAP is voluntary, but if eligible, it is the only way
