You have to be on their visitation list to send Securpaks and to be honest, the choice isn’t any better than if you were to send them money via JPay and they purchase from Stores themselves.
Also, when I sent a Securepak to A, I had to have his mom log on and use her card (I transferred her the money) because you have to have a US bank card that can be verified against a US postal address.
You could possibly send him books via somewhere like B&N (not hardback and not through Amazon) or maybe cassette tapes (which are extremely hard to come by) but I can’t think of any other possible options for you.
I should also point out that whilst I do have a lot of experience with the SMU which is Level 5, I DON’T have DR experience. However I don’t believe they vary much
Thanks Spriggs...how would I get CDs for him...I sent some more money as I realised that he has so little..he told me exactly what he'd bought ..coffee..socks..international stamps to write to me..it's all very sad..
CDs aren’t allowed in Max. So I doubt DR inmates are permitted to have a CD player either.
Oh gawd..are they allowed anything?
Not really, No!
Arizona are extremely harsh compared to a lot of other States!
It seems nightmarish...I've only been writing with B a short time, but it's starting to affect me....no one in the system seems to care ..it seems to be all about making conditions as awful as possible...
Yeah, I have experience with Ohio as well and Arizona is all about punishment. It’s so harsh in comparison to Ohio and they are barely allowed anything.
Just to add to the " misery" I haven t heard anything from him since 5th jan..but I'm trying to.put that down to my initial e mail taking weeeeeks to reach him..then his replies being slowed down by xmas mail..he didn't write since then as he may have thought that I wasn t going to write..I calculate my letters MUST be getting there to him about now..they left here on 5th jan and 7th jan..so hopefully I'll hear from him soon...
I find January is always slow. When he was at Eyman, it was the same. The mail room will have a backlog of mail and property is full of more gifts than usual due to Christmas. Occasionally things get through super fast but they’re few and far between!
Gifts? What gifts? How can people send gifts?
Spriggs do you have e mail or are you on FB ? private chat?
Yeah, I’m on Facebook. If I add to the group you posted about, you can add me from there?
A was at Florence’s Central Unit for his first few years. So I’m sure I can probably answer any questions you have about the place (if you do have any). But yeah, feel free to message me directly.
Ive just started writing to my PP whos at eyman, about to write my first letter back.. any tips?
