Hello :)

Just curious if anyone has gotten mail from San Quentin lately ? Or if they've noticed a serious delay in the mail ? Or if there is a lockdown ? Or has recently been a lockdown ? :confused:

I'm going out of my mind...I've worn a hole in my carpet from doing the mail dance. It's totally out of character...I have never gone more than a week without hearing something...and it's been over three !! Soooo...now I'm just worried. :(

thank :thumbsup:

I've received mail every day and haven't noticed a delay in getting anything...received a couple of letters on Saturday. I live out of state and it takes 3-4 days. Hang in there...there are times when you get a stack all at once and they'll be postmarked different days.

i know what you mean about the mail issue i have sent over 65 letters in the last 3 1/2 months to my husband and he has only recieved 25 so far and he is due to get out soon so i dont know the problem and if he will ever get them he sends letters and i get them in 2 days but as far as lock down goes not that i know of he just called me this morning from h-unit and he never mentioned a lock down to me but if he calls in the morning i will ask if he knows any other units if they are in lock down my hubby hasnt wrote me in a while because he didnt have envelopes and he doesnt ask the others for anything so maybe he ran out of something and he cant write you but try sending a letter over nite mail it will get to him the same day the prison recieves it send more stamps and envelopes if possible and all the other writing material and tell him to call you a.s.a.p:thumbsup: hope this helps



GOD BLESS YOU

I didn't get any mail last week but this morning I received 4 letters from my friend in San Quentin... :rolleyes:

Well the mystery is solved...the mail room at SQ is really backed up...even though i write about 4 letters a week...he hadn't gotten anything in a few weeks....

UGH!!!!:angry: Darn mail room....but then again I'm just so elated that everything is okay I won't be mad for long :)

Gotta remember that there are only maybe a handful of people working the mail room,
and we just had a holiday again, Sept 6th, and that can push the mail backwards for
weeks, as far as your husband's b/f or friends getting mail.

It was the first time I went without mail for such a long time :( ...and I knew in my gut something was up. :confused: I know that there are times when some guys don't write cause they have too much on their mind, or don't have stamps/envelopes etc...and that there are mail room delays *serious understatement*...A whole slew of possible reasons for no mail....and all good ones.

Everyone's situation is different....I wanted to exhaust all the possiblities...as I had ruled out the "normal" reasons for no mail. :) And I know my guy...and the lack of mail was not in his character...I know I over reacted now *giggle* But a total sense of panic kicked in *sigh*

I got a letter today...and I got my answer :) Just as I suspected something was up...and luckily not as serious as my imagination made it out to be !!!

I figure if I can't over react and vent here...where can I :eek: :thumbsup:

Thanks all for listening :D

i get mail from there every other day. now i know that it can take up to 2 weeks for the inmate to get his mail once it arrives at the prison, so him not getting your mail could be a reason why its taking so long for you to hear from him.....just a suggestion of mine....
but as far as i know there are no lockdowns, so hopefully you should be hearing from your man real soon....
