Address on WAP doesn't exactly match Return Address

I finally received my first response in the mail today. I wrote back and am sealing it up now. But I noticed that the Dorm/Cell # doesn't match up. The PRISON address and the Inmate # is correct, but the rest is off. Should I use what's listed on the inmate's WAP profile or should I use the exact numbers the inmate gave me?

I would first of all check the information against an official listing - like on the BOP inmate search, if your penpal is in a federal facility, or the relevant state inmate search.

I've encountered differences in addresses or inmate number a few times. When in doubt, just go for whatever they gave you, as things may have changed since they posted their initial profile.
