help, I’m apparently stupid and forgot to write the block and cell number of my penpal. I wrote it ;
First name last name
P.O. Box 1111
Blythe Ca 92227
I forgot to write the “ironwood state prison b-###” part just wondering if it would still reach him?

You'll probably get it returned to you.
This will not be delivered and it will get sent back to you. I had mail being sent back to me when I forgot to put his doc# on it. I even got one returned to me once because they didn't recognize my 7 as a 7 (I make my 7 with a dash through it)
It'll be returned, like the others said. I left off JUST an inmate number once and it was returned.
DOC numbers are very important, that is how they identify the inmates and how they're sure the right inmate is receiving the right stuff. Last name and DOC number have to be right, otherwise it won't get through (as several have said already).
But that said, no worries, it'll return to you and re-send it again with the right info, you'll be fine! It happens, we all forget things, don't be too hard on yourself!
I put his CDCR number I didn’t put the housing number. It still hasn’t been returned so I’m hoping it does get delivered.
