It has been 30 days since I sent my first e-mail via WAP. I know that it could be late during this month (Xmas, New Years Eve etc.)
I did lil research about my pp's facility -that's why i created this topic here- and i did not find happy things. Many people say that officers there are not good. They do not treat them well. Some people say that they do not like visitors and letters. Sometimes they do not deliver letters to inmates. That is why I'm worrying about my pen pal and my letter :(
so is it possible that officers do not deliver letter to inmates?

You worry too much, my dear.
Just because a few bad things do happen sometimes, it doesn't mean they're going to happen to you. & weeks are normal for a first reply out of the US, and then add another two for Christmas time delay.
6 weeks I meant (I want the edit button back! and the smilies and PM function, too.)
Oh yes, I do worry a lot :) after reading some comments about facility made me worry a lot but yeah no matter what I have to wait until then.
-I couldn’t agree more! The edit button must have!
I Jpay a lot with someone on DR in Florida, the last message I got from him dates back to dec 26. Although I'm getting too old to still believe in fairytails and think I've been ghosted, I heard through the grapevine that prison mailroom staff didn't work for 5 days around christmas. And on top of that they also didn't work for 5 days around new years, so that would make 10 days of no mail processing. Kinda hard to believe as it still differs from facility to facility, but the general consensus is that mail is A LOT slower around/during holidays. And as more people have said: first contact also tends to be slower than when you already have established a pattern of contact. I hope you'll hear soon from your new penpal.
Thank you for info! I did not know that 10 days break ... I mean never thought it could be longer like this. Yeah I hope so too!
