Hello everybody

I recently moved to England and just got the next letter from my pen pal. I would love to send him some photos of my new home, but I'm not quite familiar with the process of printing out pictures here. In Germany, I just went to the store with my USB and got my photos right away. I heard that it doesn't work like that here. Where can I print out photos and can I get them right away?

Thank you!

Thank you for all the answers! My pen pal sent me all the mail rules once and I already sent him pictures I printed out in the store. I'll go to the nearest big city today and have I look if I find a store where I can print out the photos.

TDCJ allows Polaroids but they cut them open to look for drugs being smuggled in.

Also there are measurement restrictions on photos in some prisons, I think 6x4 are fine. 8x10 may be the limit in some. All depending on specific prison & state I guess.

Make sure you know what the prison requires as far as pictures. Some require regular paper. I haven't heard of any that allow Polaroids.

Hi Luna. Or larger Tesco stores, or smaller photo shops like max speilman you can use your usb, if it's one of the smaller photo shops someone in store will help you. Or from your smart phone you can 'Bluetooth' them to the machines in store, & get instant copies. Failing that uploading them on the computer & printing them straight, uses a lot of ink I'd imagine though! :-)

Boots or Asda I believe you can do it with your usb. I go to boots with my phone and get photos right away.
