like i stated before im kinda new at this so i was wondering how do you know if they got the letters you send them? how long does it take for them to receive them?

There is really no way to know if they have received the mail you sent, unless the inmate tells you. It is taking my man at KVSP, anywhere from 7-10 days to receive his mail.

IT IS TAKING MY MAN @ DELANO 2, FROM 5-7 DAYS TO RECEIVE HIS MAIL... WELLL I THINK ITS DEPENDS BECAUSE I SEDN AN MONEY ORDER ON FEB 7 AND HE GOT IT ON FEB 27.... SO I THINK IT DEPENDS.

It's true the only reassurance is his letters. But, as many have stated it just takes a little longer than we all hope for. Just have patience and hope that your letters get to him speedily. Don't give up. Keep writing and sooner or later your letters will give him that smile you'd hope to have given. Best of luck.

thANKS for replying. can someone tell me more information about nksp? anything this is the first time i go threw this and its kinda scary knowing my fiancee will be going there..

I Dont Understand Why My Man Has Not Recieved Any Letters, I Talk To His Counsler Yesterday And She Said She Would Look Into It. He's Been There Over 1 Month And I've Wrote Since Day One! I Even Called The Mail Room An Dhe Said It Only Takes 5 To 7 Days For The Mail To Get To Them So It Must Be Getting Held For Some Reason. I'll Call Again Tommarrow To Talk To His Counsler Again.

I've heard, in a few of these forums, that the trick is to send a few gathered letters in a large yellow envelope. Otherwise it can take up to about a month. I mean yeah it cost a little more postage, but is worth it. Especially if they're getting their mail- and sooner. I've sent my envelope yesterday so we'll see what happens. I'll keep you updated. P.S I'm also told you can send 50 sheets lined paper and 20 pre-paid envelopes. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Yea I Sent Letters In The Big Envelope And Also Priority Mail Last Week, Ive Also Sent The Stamped Envelopes And Paper But Still Nothing????well Actually I Sent The Priority Mail Was 8 Days Ago So I'll See If He Gets Thats Thanks For The Info....

Well, other than that-- all we can do is pray and hope for the bests. Don't get discouraged. I know it takes longer than we like, but maybe in some miraculous way he'll get them when he needs them the most. God's timing is always better than our own. Keep the faith. Stay strong and only good can come of this... Best of luck.

hello misses his kisses and everyone else:cool:

two days ago i sent out a large manila envelope and it was 7.5oz.It costed me $2 which wasnt bad at all considering all the things inside.We'll see when he gets it.Also one of the mailroom staff told me tht if you write on the back ....attention mailroom personell,enclosed are the following items:
-blah blah blah(50)
-blah blah blah blah(20)

you know like that,then it makes their job easier and it gets to the inmnate a little fasta.try it ladies n tell me if it works.:thumbsup:

Thanks For The Incouragement This Stuff Really Gets Hard I Know He's Streesing So It Stress Me. I Got A Letter Last Week And He Hadnt Got Any Mail Since He's Been There Over A Month. And He's In The Hole, So Its Got Me Real Stressed. But Thank You Misseshiskisses.

Hello, LadyBam3. How are you? Staying strong? Any new- news? Keep your head up... Hey, and smile. Because you both deserve it. Even when the whole world doesn't smile back... keep smiling. Because when the world walked out- you walked in and smiled.> Yeah, I had heard something like that: to write "enclosed: blah..." That's how I had sent it. I'll keep you posted. Take care. And, smile.

Ray"Girl: No problem. I know how it is. It hurts and the worse thing is to feel solitude in these moments. Abandonement and loneliness always seems to taunt us- but, we know better. Right? The less you stress, the less he will. He feels you, whether you feel like it or not. Be strong for each other. I know it's easier said then done but- time heals the pain. *On a brighter note, the reason 'his' mail could be sooo slow is probably because he's in the hole. But, like I said "God's timing, is better than our own." He'll receive his smile when he needs it the most... You're welcome. Take care.

Well It Took Him 1 And Half Months To Start Getting Mail. Ive Even Gotten 4 Phone Calls It Felt So Good To Hear His Voice. He Said Hes Already Gotten Over 30 Letters, Cards, Post Cards. Yea So After He Finally Got The Mail He Was Real Happy.
