New York Prison Packages - confused

[yanigirl]

I AM FROM NY AND I'M SOOO CONFUSED ON THIS PACKAGE THING. LAST WEEK I SENT MY SON'S FATHER SOME UNDERWEAR. THEY TURNED IT AWAY BECAUSE THEY SAID IT HAD BLUE THREADING IN IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO CHECK THE THREAD TOO. WHAT IS THE BEST KIND OF UNDERWEAR TO SEND AND WHAT COLOR. NOW MY DILEMA IS THAT I AM TRYING TO SEND HIM A BLANKET I KNOW WHAT KIND HE CAN HAVE BUT UNSURE OF THE COLOR OR IF IT CAN HAVE A PRINT ON IT. I ALSO SEND HIM PALMERS COCO BUTTER AT HIS REQUEST BUT THEY TURNED THAT AWAY TOO. APARENTLY HE CAN HAVE IT BUT IT MUST COME FROM A COMPANY. THEY MAKE EVERYTHING SO DIFFICULT! I ALWAYS FEEL SO STRESSED WHEN I HAVE TO SHOP FOR HIM.

I'll PM you the DOC package list I picked up from Gowanda in Upstate NY a couple of weeks ago. If you let me know which facility he's in I can see if I can find you something facility-specific.

Hmmm. That won't work because I don't see a way to attach a document. Why don't you send me your email address and I'll send it that way?

Thanks.

The package rules are really strict but each facility is a little different. You'll get the hang of it.
