Do you recommend getting a PO box for this sorta thing? Im really interested in writing to an inmate but not sure if I should provide my home address or not, thanks!

Hi, I don't think there's a need for a PO box, unless you live overseas in which case that can be a big help to mailing times and cost, or if you live with people you don't want to have knowing about your prison writing activities.  Aside from those scenarios, I can't think of a reason to need a po box.  I have one, but only because I live overseas, and didn't want to use my parents home address as a domestic return address as that would have involved them much more than I want them to be, or they want to be,  involved.
