My guy is in an Ohio prison and got shoes off an another inmate. He wants me to forward the money for the shoes to the other inmate. Does anyone know if You are allowed to do this? Let Me knows...it is much appreciated.

Thanks!~!

I would assume that he could get busted for "trafficking" for an exchange like that, couldn't he?

Well they do all things in prison for money as long as the other party is ok with selling his shoes I rather shoes than drugs. Just a thought

I dont think it would be a problem. I guess you you can send a moneygram with his details on; name and doc#.

I know in the State Prisons in MO & the Federal System this is not permitted (per staff rules). However, someone else could send the money, i.e., you probably send money to your guy & your name is on the (money order/money gram) money that is received & is recorded on file. Therefore, "they" would question your "guy" (and he could get a violation) as to the reason you were sending the money. Been there, done that!

It is called trafficking in all states . You guy made a big mistake Never accept anything from another prisoner . If he is caught they can and probably will put a major case on him for that anb cut off contact between you and him .
Be very careful about that

That is what I thought. One of my pp's said you can get a case for trafficking for something as simple as giving another inmate a bar of soap.

There is a reason they have the rules they do, because of drugs, and all the crazy little ideas some inmates get. So even if someone does something that is just a normal I will give you shoes for $10, because of the bs that goes on don't work that way. Better to just buy his own from store.

Wow - I had no idea about any of this.........good to know though.....thanks guys!!!

I have sent money using moner orders to inmates accounts before. Like, my boyfriend had a guy who works in the leathershop there make a belt for him and had me (I'm in charge of his finances while he's locked up) send his money to the other inmates account via a money order. I've had to do this with other things as well. But these were all special order stuff... not like trading shoes or anything.
