 Re: Inmate To Inmate Correspondence
Junior struggles with this.
You see, he was on death row with a lot of people. Death Row inmates, especially in Texas rely on each other for this and that and they DO FORM LASTING FRIENDSHIPS.
We all know things change with time... In his case he is no longer on death row. He has 'friends' who are in other units, some serving time, some serving death and some serving life. They do wonder about one another from time to time.
One of his friends once wrote him a letter and mailed it to me, even asked me to mail it in. It was a simple letter, nothing serious in it. I was about to mail it out when I realized how serious the consequences are or could be, just for mailing it in.
A friend was doing the same for Joe and his former girl friend. The mail room caught on and Joe lost mail and visitation privileges for 6 months. If caught again, he could lose mail for much longer.
I guess the DOC's have their rules for a reason and they have to ensure the safety of those incarcerated and not. Because so many illegal activities are doing through the mail, they can not take any chances.
It really depends on which system it is and how strict they are.
When it comes to Junior and his friends, they write me and I tell him so and so said what's up, he is working in the kitchen , enjoying visits and blah blah blah. I don't want to risk either offenders case record, so I won't pass messages, or at least direct letters to them. I know how important staying case free is.
