I'm learning about all this as well as things have changed since my son was last in the SHU. Yes, pre stamped envelopes 20@a time. Pictures I think with no backing. Money orders yes. visits yes, I don't know the deal on packages anymore. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I hope this answers some of your questions Love Barb

Once a year after you receive the paper work you send it on to the vendor

They don’t every really go outside, they go into a yard that is covered over with plexy glass so they can never see the sky or anything else.

Thank you both!
God Barb that sounds so depressing never being able to see the sun,clouds,sky etc. :( It just doesn't seem fair or right does it?
