Sure I send money orders to pp's yet only to those I write. What they do with the funds is their thing, yet I do not send to "friends" or accept prison money orders for an inmate.

I have a girl locked up in Missouri. I have sent money orders to other girls and have never had a problem. Like fro instance, right now she wants to knit a blanket for her daughter, but can only buy so much yarn at one time, so I am sending some money so that one of her friends can purchase the additional yarn. Thecnically they do not like it but never had any problems

I have sent money using moner orders to inmates accounts before. Like, my boyfriend had a guy who works in the leathershop there make a belt for him and had me (I'm in charge of his finances while he's locked up) send his money to the other inmates account via a money order. I've had to do this with other things as well. But these were all special order stuff... not like trading shoes or anything.

There is a reason they have the rules they do, because of drugs, and all the crazy little ideas some inmates get. So even if someone does something that is just a normal I will give you shoes for $10, because of the bs that goes on don't work that way. Better to just buy his own from store.

It is called trafficking in all states . You guy made a big mistake

That is what I thought. One of my pp's said you can get a case for trafficking for something as simple as giving another inmate a bar of soap.

It is called trafficking in all states . You guy made a big mistake Never accept anything from another prisoner . If he is caught they can and probably will put a major case on him for that anb cut off contact between you and him .
Be very careful about that

I know in the State Prisons in MO & the Federal System this is not permitted (per staff rules). However, someone else could send the money, i.e., you probably send money to your guy & your name is on the (money order/money gram) money that is received & is recorded on file. Therefore, "they" would question your "guy" (and he could get a violation) as to the reason you were sending the money. Been there, done that!

I dont think it would be a problem. I guess you you can send a moneygram with his details on; name and doc#.

Well they do all things in prison for money as long as the other party is ok with selling his shoes I rather shoes than drugs. Just a thought

I would assume that he could get busted for "trafficking" for an exchange like that, couldn't he?
