Send Letters, Postcards & Photos to Inmates
Write from your phone — we print, format to the facility's rules, add postage, and mail it. No stamps, no trips to the post office.
A letter is often the single most meaningful thing you can send someone inside. But facility mailrooms reject thousands of letters every day over small mistakes. We make staying in touch simple: you write, we handle the printing, formatting, postage, and delivery so your words actually reach your loved one.
How sending mail works
Find your inmate
Search 50 facilities to confirm the address and inmate ID — the detail that gets most letters rejected when it's wrong.
Write your letter or pick photos
Type a letter, choose a postcard, or upload photos right from your phone or computer.
We format to facility rules
We check page limits, photo counts, and content rules so your mail passes inspection.
We print, stamp, and mail it
Everything ships within one business day, and you get a delivery confirmation.
What you can send
- Letters — type as much as you want; we print and fold to spec.
- Photos — upload from your camera roll; we print within facility limits.
- Postcards & greeting cards — for birthdays, holidays, or just because.
Tips to keep your mail from being rejected
Mailrooms are strict. Always use the correct inmate ID, avoid stickers, glitter, perfume, tape, or anything stained. Keep content within the rules — no coded language, no contraband references. We handle the formatting, but writing with these in mind helps your letter sail through. For a full checklist, read our guide on how to write a letter to an inmate. Prefer electronic messages?

Letters work best alongside other forms of connection
A letter keeps the relationship alive between visits — but it works even better paired with other channels. Care packages let you send physical comfort — facility-approved snacks, hygiene items, and essentials — filtered to what is actually allowed at your inmate's specific facility. Our discounted phone calls service gives you a flat $10 a month for 500 minutes so you can stay in regular contact between letters without paying the facility's standard per-minute rate. And if your loved one is still awaiting trial, posting bail through a licensed agent may help end the separation entirely.
