ok here I go again...what about a seperate thread about how we can send certain things to inmates, like books, magazines, money,...?

I think that could be a great help! For instance, I had no idea I could mail my friend a necklace!! Lots of tips could be passed around!

Sounds good to me Soraya!! Good thinking girl!
Oh another thing...tips on HOW to make sure our loved 1's get the things that we do send them.
Like w/me...a couple things magically "dissappeared" & EJ didn't get them!!

I finally got legal information on a new law in to Wayne...got a friend of mine that works for a lawyer to mail it and it was considered legal mail and didn't go through the mail room.

IS A GOOD IDEA BUT I THINK THE POLICIES REGARDING SENDING THINGS IS GOING TO DIFFER NOT ONLY STATE TO STATE BUT ALSO PRISON TO PRISON--

That is a great idea, but I agree with Sherri.

We will just have to keep in mind that these are all different places and policies may differ, like Sherri pointed out.
I still would like to hear what everyone has success with and what doesn't work out.

I agree, but if we set up this forum, we can always just make sure that we mention the prison and/or the state, when we talk about sending something there?

I agree w/you Soraya...I would like to know how other's send things in & maybe get a couple ideas of my own.
From talking to other members about sending things it's pretty interesting to hear what is considered contraband, what can & can't be sent in things like that.
I say set up the forum...you always got some good ideas!!
That's why you are the Super Moderator...hee hee!!

i like the idea....i think enough of us are in, or sending things to the same states (or federal prisons) that we could at least get an idea of what's appropriate... :)

I too would be interested in seeing what can & can't be sent, or what hoops one has to jump through to get things inside. One of the things I enjoy about this site is finding out about the different ways the states & feds run their prisons.
