SJzM0STWANTED · #1 02-24-2006, 12:57 AM

i was wondering if there were requirements on sending pre stamped envelopes to golden state mccf. all i know its that i have to send it in an manila envelope ...but is there a certain size the envelope can be. also can i also include letters along with pictures or does it only have to be the envelopes ?? thanks!

I am not sure of the rules for that particular facility but when I send pre stamped envelopes to other Ca. State prisons I send them in large manilla envelopes and sometimes I do send letters and pictures with them and they have always gotten in fine

I Usually Send Him 20 Prestamped Envelopes. I Mail Him Pictures And Letters Along With Writing Paper And He Seems To Receive Them All Without A Problem. Just Make Sure The Manila Envelope Doesnt Have Metal Clasp (9X12 I THINK ITS THE SIZE)

Most likely they will pull the clasp off and give it to him. I've never had one refused, but they'd rather you didn't.

doesnt anyone know hoe long it should take for the inmate to recieve them? i thought he should get them like in 1 or 2 days like how i send regular mails. i have sent them out on the 24th of feb and he still hasnt recieved them yet.

Count on a least two weeks before they get any mail. There is no way around it.

PRINCESA ANGIE · #11 03-03-2006, 03:26 PM

That Is Very Strange My Fiance Usually Get His Mail Quick. If I Mail It On A Friday He Gets It On Tuesday And If I Mail It On Wed He Usually Has Been Getting It On Friday. Try Sending Him Another Letter. Are You Writing His Bunk# On The Envelope If You Havent Maybe That Is The Reason He Is Not Getting The Mail..fast And Beware Because The Guards There Can Be Mean When You Go To Visit, Ask Me About It (uugghh!)if You Have Any Questions You Can Pm Me My Fiance Has Been There For Approx. A Month I Think?OR maybe he has not gotten your mail because all a- wing was on lockdown until this wednesday. maybe they werent receiving any mail??who knows, well let me know what happens.

I Know It Shouldnt Take Long To Recieve Mail There.... I Do Put The Bunk # And Everything. Yea My Brother Did Mention To Me That They Were On Lockdown On The 23rd ... When I Got His Letter Yesterday And Yes I Did Write Him Yesterday Too. Hopefully They Had They Mail But Didnt Give It To Htem Cause They Were On Lockdown.

arg its been a week and a half since i sent the envelopes /// and yet still havent heard from him since the 2nd ... i have a feeling he didnt recieve it. but yea i think im just gonna send a moneyorder and have him just buy stamped envelopes there .. since for some reason he didnt get the ones that i sent. but does anyone know how much they charge for stamped envelopes there. also is it tru that they dont take anythiing ( a percentage) out when we send money order thanks!

PRINCESA ANGIE · #14 03-07-2006, 01:21 PM

As Fas As I Know My Fiance Did Tell Me That They Dont Take Restitution There. So I Dont Think They Will Deduct Any Money From The Money Order You Sent To Him.

csusarrah · #15 03-07-2006, 09:36 PM

Yeah... if he owes restitution they will take out 44% of whatever u send
