I want to send my brother a book, but I don't know how to do that since he is in jail. I know there has to be a way, but I can't figure it out. If you have any suggestions please help. Thanks.....

I have had several friends in jail... what you have to do is if you want to send books or a tape (some jails you can buy tape players from commensary so the inmates want tapes)  YOu have to go to the store buy it keep the receipt and packing if there is any on the product and send the book using the stores address so it looks like the store sent it... thats what i used to have to do, you can call the jail and see what there policies are.

Hey all of you know it alls...I don't think she asked if he deserves the chair (which is just crass), or if he will continue making the same mistakes over and over.\nIn no way does this question call for a negative or derogatory opinion of any sort.\nHere's an idea...Maybe you should try to read the question first, think to yourself if you have any relevant in put, and if you don't, then it's just not your question to answer.\nTo all of you who answered as though you were God himself,  try not to be such an ignorant jerk in the future.\nAnd as for your question\nI think it's fabulous that you are trying to help your son through this very new and different time in his life.  Genuine people sharing their positive thoughts with your son will help the time pass, and in the process, he will make new friends, and be able to make better decisions in the future.  Unfortunately I do not know of anyone who would like to do this at the time, but maybe your son could find out if his particular prison offers a Pen Pals program.  I'm sure you'll have better luck with that, but I found a few sites that should be of some help to you\nGood luck, and I hope this helps!\n\nwww.friendsbeyondthewall.com\nwww.prisonpenpals.com \nwww.cellpals.com\nwriteaprisoner.com

They there bubby! I gave you an answer last month regarding your BF who is in jail and demanding you send him money... I thought by now you would have left him because it sounds like he's having an extra marital affair in there, or he's paying for his drug habit... Quit sending him money now... E-mail me personally and lets talk...Been there and done that scene many times with my significant other and eventually caught him cheating on me so I left him after our 14 year relationship... He kept bothering me and wouldn't find a job and expected me to support him and finance his drug habit, so I went home clear across the State of Alaska, and you now how big our state is... Since then, I've got my life back, a new job and making more money and saving and planning on going on a vacation to meet this guy I met on the internet and hopefully take him home and start my life over again..... I occassionaly miss him and think about him but life goes on.... So I weigh the pros and cons of our past relationship and stop thinking about him and pat myself in the back for taking my life back towards the positive side and don't plan on returning to him... I used to go to the library to use a computer to check my e-mail, but since then I have been able to buy my own computer and alot of other things that I couldn't buy when I was with him..... I look forward to hearing from you Tracer and think positive and things will work out for you.... Otherwise do you have IM/chat so we can talk without having to wait for each others reply? So let's chat and come up with some alternatives to ease your pain.... I have yahoo messenger...

Haven't read it in a while, but without having the book with me, I'd say books in general are classified information. Since nobody is allowed access to them, they are the uber-classified stuff. But hopefully someone has the book and might find a specific example.

They dont pass it out. The call out your neame and open it in front of the inmate and givem the contents of the letter. They check it to see for anything illigal. So dont send anything illigal. Been there done that. From me

Actually, most states in America participate in the Interstate Compact Agreement - which permits states to send inmates from one state to another.  I can't tell from your post whether you live in Los Angeles or Louisiana, but you should know that Louisiana's states laws are different, because they are based upon the Napoleonic laws, not the English common law that the rest of the US is based on.  May sound like a silly thing, but it can make a big difference.\n\nThe first thing I would do is contact the prison authorities in PA and ask if they participate in the Interstate Compact Agreement.  If so, your brother can go ahead and begin the paperwork himself.  There are often costs for this, such as your family having the pay for the transport costs of your brother and escorting prison officers, but if that's worth it to you, go ahead and get the ball rolling.  You can contact the Main Office at (717) 975-4859, and start asking questions there.   Good Luck.

Normally, in jail, an inmate can write to or receive letters from whoever he wants.  They may go through the letter to make sure he or you are not plotting escape, but other than that, shouldn't be a problem.  A lot of time, people are incarcerated with little warning, so you migh want to make sure he has stamps/ writing materials, or the funds with which to purchase them.

How about a DVD of his fav movie/sitcomm. Then there's choosing a really up-to-the-minute book (if yr cousin likes reading that is!) Or . . . I've gone blank - hope the above helped a bit!

Inmates do not have internet access, this post was made by a friend of an inmate on his behalf (They posted another request that makes that fact more clear) \nFor anyone who DOES want to become an inmates penpal, I suggest that you rent a PO Box so you don't have to use your home address (a good idea even if a new pen pal is not an inmate) and follow all the same safety rules you follow on-line...Don't give out personal information right off the bat, be very leary of any requests for money and generally use common sense. Most of these guys really, truly, just want someone to correspond with but there are also a lot with bad motives, so play it safe, if something feels "off" it probably is, but writing to an inmate is a very kind thing to do and can be very rewarding.

You should do one of the following:\n1. send a mail to the store from where you ordered the book.  \n2. If it was on internet, you may be able to track thre.  3. If you have any telephone number, you can call and ask.\n\nyour asking a question here may not be of any help.

Ok calm yourself I have an idea call the parole officer and ask her if your brother could prove that he was at work at the time that he was suppose to contact her would it help him not to go to jail in other words call his employer after speaking with the parole officer and ask would they be willing to vouch for your brother's presence at work at the time your brother was to contact parole officer this might help and tell your brother to tell her that he tried to contact her but he could not get through he probably called her but did not leave a message on answering machine which could have helped the matter but you and your family should call the parole officer first before he turn himself in and talk with her and see how that goes sometimes a caring family can help the matter she might see his support system and give him another chance try it any or all family members speak out! This might help ask her could you all have a meeting with her mom dad sister family members friends anyone and everybody that cares she might be impress and it might motivate her to help instead of hurt your brother chances of not going to jail she is the key to him not going to jail so you must talk to her. Ask her what can your family do to prove that he did call but did not leave a message would proving that he was at work at the time will that help. God Bless your brother and family!

I don't know what state you are in, but in Florida, its www.fdle.state.fl.us   it will have rules and regulations regarding packages.    Not all will be the same.  You need to check with the jail he is in.   County jails will not take packages from citizens, only money can be deposited into their account.  As stated commissary will have all they need.   Most inmates can not stock pile lots of items anyway, so you might be wasting your money if he can't have it or keep it.

i really thought a woman of your worldly ways would know better...sigh, allow my expertise. first of all, send letters "from" him to about 50 lonely male prison inmates. make sure you include his address, phone number, social security number, anything you have of loser boy. next, well warm weather is here. when all the town fairs come around, they always have those annoying booths that no one goes to, except to get a free coffee cup, waterproofing for basements, dog fences, etc..., well sign him up for EVERYTHING, and make sure when they ask best time to call you put anytime between 1 a.m and 5 a.m.!!take any pictures you have of him, and make flyers stating he is armed and dangerous and to call the police. hang them at the laundromat, post office, phone poles, etc....\ngo to a library (they have better virus blockers), open all your bulk mail, and sign him up for all those goodies! good luck sista!!!

I have used a program called E-paper to write E-books. However, it is not secure and the author does a pretty good job of advertising on the product.  Advertise on E-bay, sell it direct for a while. You will need to set up an E-mail account, I prefer to use PAYPAL for money transfers on the internet. Later consider using www.clickbank.com\nSorry, I had to come back and edit. If you sell the item through paypal, you can put on the receipt back to them the website where to download the ebook. You can even use one of the free websites

You might try creating an iMemoryBook for him. My roommate is creating a book for his fiance right now. He wrote his story of how they met and how they got engaged, then she wrote her story. Then Justin (my roommate) invited me, and all of his family and her family to the book to write their favorite memories about the two of them. When they are done, iMemoryBook will ship them a hardbound color copy of the book. I know that if I was in Iraq, there isn't much that would be more meaningful than a memory book full of all my favorite memories of family and friends.
