Do they allow newspaper and magazine clippings at Florence? After my experience with Lewis, I know they don't have to follow ADC guidelines and can create different restrictions for each prison. My pal is in SMU-1.

Hi Chintah, I don't think they do. You could maybe call and ask but I know SMU is pretty strict, so I wouldn't try it. The only thing you could try is to make a copy of the clipping and then send it in that way. With the copy I don't think they would give you a hard time. Good luck. Lisa

that is a good point on the copy
i can scan a newspaper article and mail it
but I can not send the article LOL
sorta odd but hey at least my scanner/copy/printer gets a work out

good luck chintath

Sometimes you have to just cross your fingers and hope it dont come back:yes:

I just heard from my pal who said they don't allow newspaper clippings. They get throught sometimes depending on who is in the mailroom.

Hi again Chintah,
The newspaper clippings won't get in but did you try what I mentioned above and make a copy of the clipping and send the copy? I've done this before and never had a problem. Good luck! Lisa
