am i really so dumb that i can not address an envelope or is it something else? i sent a letter to a friend at SATF state prison and it got returned, insufficient address.:confused:
so lay it out to me, how do i address the envelope? or was it just a fluke? i really appreciate it y'all....

Hi Lupine, How did you address it? I once sent a letter to Richard to my own address now that is dumb LOL

Barbara, I have over nighted mail to my self. lol What a waiste of time and money.

nan, i'm not that dumb...lol...just kidding...
i sent it as

john doe
#e5551212/c5-005a
SATF State Prison
Cocorn, CA
93212

any ideas?...believe me i KNOW that this kid is still in prison...

when I write letters there is also a p.o box # in the address- that's the only difference I can see-

SATF is the Substance Abuse and Treatment Facility at Corcoran State Prison. The address, according to the CDC website, is:

SATF
900 Quebec Rd.
P.O. Box 7100
Corcoran, CA 93212

The inmate number you used does not look correct to me. My son's, at Folsom, is T-40176. The number you have looks too long. If you do not have the right number, your letter is coming back guaranteed.

The second line of the address is usually a cell block and bunk number. If you don't get the address right, they don't get the mail. The prisons won't do anything to try to help. They will just send it right back where it came from.

i tell you, i sent a letter to someoneb efore and it came back with it stamp not correct address, it darn sure was, lol i look at it like 4 times an thougt,,,well what the heck,lol i think sometimes that it or some mail gt stamp wrong, or stamp the wrong envlope...

thanks, all...maybe i'll just resend as is with the address i had and then try something else?...sigh...guess his x-mas card is late, huh?
