My friend on D.R. Texas told me that he found out that its ok if i send him magazines. Coz if i take the staples out, the mailroom will do as if it is a normal letter. does anyone know if its that easy indeed?? Coz if i send a book it has to be direct from the publisher or bookshop and stuff. All that stupid rules and do's and donts...!!!
thanx allready!

greetz, Mara

Hey Mara.. This is taken directly off of the TDCJ Web site. I don't know if anything has changed.

It says:
Mail

Newspapers, magazines, and books may be mailed directly to offenders only by the publisher, publication supplier or bookstore; subject to review and rejection in accordance with the correspondence rules. Stationery (defined as paper, unstamped envelopes, carbon paper, but excluding paper or envelopes with names, addresses or letterhead) may be mailed to offenders only from legitimate vendors or suppliers of stationery. Items such as food, clothing, jewelry, and toiletries may not be mailed to offenders. Individuals may not mail packages to offenders.

Mara, it should work if you just print out a label that says your address and you make up a name of a bookstore. Worked for me...

hahaha yeah its worth trying! its just weird that he told me i can easely take out the staples and send it...i never heared of that!!!!

me neither, but it's worth trying i think

i just gonna send the same magazine on different ways and ask him to tell me how many he got and what method i used :p

GOOD IDEA--JUST MAKE SURE TO LOG WHICH YOU SENT WHICH WAY OR IT COULD GET CONFUSING

and when you do find out which ways you can send things... Let us know!!! :D

YEAH,don't keep this information from us! ;)

ok ok ok...i'll keep ya all posted about it :)
