My bud in Colorado has informed me that all incoming mail at his facility is now copied and destroyed, with copies delivered to the inmates. Delivered copies include an image of the envelope. All photos on photo paper, even from third-party services like Shutterfly, are now banned.
This is a new contraband interdiction policy. Whether it applies statewide, I do not know, but my best guess is it would. Note that the feds have been doing this for years, except for the photo part... so far.

Omg I just saw you already answered my question.... so sorry!
Seriously? That's awfull! So if I were to send an E-mail through Jpay with a picture attached, they wouldn't be able to see the picture?
Bonjour! Pour le courrier postal, une enveloppe et son contenu seront copiés et détruits. La partie copier-détruire se passe dans l'établissement, et oui, les copies sont remises au détenu. Envoyez simplement une lettre de la manière habituelle et tout ira bien. Meilleurs vœux :-)
(l'e-mail fonctionne aussi, mais seulement de vous > eux dans le Colorado)
Bonjour, vous avez dit que les exemplaires livrés incluent une image de l'enveloppe mais que voulez-vous dire par là? Je dois prendre en photo l'enveloppe et imprimer ou c'est la prison qui fournira la copie de l'enveloppe au détenu? Puis, ai-je toujours le droit d'envoyer des lettres imprimées à mon détenu? Ou suis-je obligée de passer par mail?
Hi Lasimi, like I said, I don’t know if this applies statewide, but my best guess is it does.
Re: photos, the only remaining option is to send these via JPay. At my bud’s facility, they print these out in color. I’m told the quality is pretty good.
You probably already know that in Colorado, JPay only works in one direction, you > them, so inmates must reply by mail.
hy, please can you explain me better? i am from Europe and i have an inmate in Colorado. Aren't they able to receive any pic anymore? in Every facility? thank you in advance
