my borther wants me to send him stamps ... but how would i send them to him. can i just put it in the letter i write him?

The best way to find out is to call your brother's prison. Apparently, some prisons do not allow mailing stamps. But, then, some do.:)

Yes, this is true. If the prison says stamps are ok, then you can just send "books" of stamps in with a letter or card that you send to your brother. :thumbsup:

If you let us know where he is that might help us out. Like Salinas Valley, San Quentin, Pelican Bay, CSATF and Corcoran can all get stamps in a letter. Corcoran SHU can only get metered or embossed envelopes. Let us know and we can help you find out.

Hello everyone, my husband is in Solano State Prison in Vacaville CA and i send him envelopes with the postage already on the envelope directly from the post office. I usually pay about $10.00 for 20 envelopes.

Corcoran SHU CAn receive stamped envelopes, regular stamped envelopes. They don't have to be embossed or metered.

When one puts postage on a letter via a meter, that meter has a number on it as well as the city and state where the meter is located. The number can be traced to a certain business/individual. You can NOT take and mail these from another location (i.e. if the meter is in Dallas, the letter can NOT be mailed from Corcoran California). The letters must be mailed in the same city where the meter is registered.

But, yes, you can send stamped envelopes, with regular stamps...I take and print out my envelopes w/ a return address and then I go to the PO and buy stamps and affix them to the envelope. Then I send them to a person in SHU. I recommend ALWAYS putting the return address of the inmate on ANY envelopes you may sent (especially in SHU and PHU) as the envelopes often find themselves "missing"...stolen by either other inmates and/or guards. I have received a couple unsolicited letters from inmates before I started addressing them. Just a thought.

High Desert and CCC both permit regular stamps to be sent in letters.

Ironwood you can send stamps in your letters. What I do is srnd him a card with the stamps and the a big envelope with paper and envelopes. that why he gets his stamps first because it takes awhile for him to get the paper
