My understanding is that Pelican Bay is a maximum security penitentiary specifically designed to house inmates with active gang affiliations. As such, regulations will be strictly enforced on all items going in and out of there. I would ask your pen pal to let you know what can be sent in and what is not permitted. There will be even more restrictions placed on him if he is currently in Ad Seg or SHU as opposed to mainline.
