I sent a letter to my friend on Sept, 29 didnt get one back until Oct, 24. I figured it was so slow because they had just moved him and they had to forward it. Sent another letter on Oct, 25th, still waiting! He hasnt heard from me in 10 years and seemed very excited in his first letter to me. I dont know if it is the mail, prison or what...... Is anyone else having this problem with the mail?

Yes, it does irritate me a lot. My husband was sent to San Quentin around Aug. & he sent a letter expressing himself & how I haven't written. But I have. Its snail mail. I hate it! Im also trying to locate a family member since Sept & still haven't heard anything. It can take a while before the mail is given to them.

it took over 8 weeksfor my guy to start getting my letters and now they seem to be running 3 to 4 weeks from send to recieve... and anywhere from 2 to 8 days for his to get to me.

they are pretty sloppy in the mail room, if you ask me, and what with the holiday, it's just gonna get worse.

Hi,

I also think that the mail room sucks! It takes my guy about three weeks to get my mail, and it could take me anywhere from 2 days to a week to get mail from him, and sometimes he gets the new mail first and the old mail days later...Geez!

Three days ago I got a letter dated October 17th; a week before that I got a letter dated October 18th. !! I just talked to L by phone, and I'm told there's about a dozen letters I haven't received yet, starting around Oct. 20th. :\ This is CCWF.

Going out not a problem, coming in a different story Always the exception though.

For San Quentin, the guy to direct complaints to is Lt. Cramer...if enough letters land on his desk NOW, there's a chance that the guys may see your Christmas cards before Valentines Day.
