Hi Julie,

When can i write my inmate
Hi Brittany,
You can write to your inmate now.
What is the address so i can sendmy letter to my inmate
I have a few questions. My 1st question is what is the dress code. What is allowed & what isn’t. How long does my shorts have to be. Cause id hate driving a hour or two getting there & then get turned away. My 2nd question is how do the phone calls work? Do I have to go thru a certain company & add money to my phone or can an inmate buy a calling card? My 3rd question is does the inmate have just books or do they have an account like some other places.
