Many of the death row inmates have no funds. When you write to them it may be very difficult for them to reply. I try to send money for postage to anyone I am interested in writing to. This is especially important for penpals from out of the country. It costs $1.00 to send a letter to England.

great idea! but its good to find out how to send to prisoners in that state. some states allow prisoners to rec. stamps; some only allow whole books of stamps; others insist prisoners must buy them from the prison and if u send the letter will not be given to them. its good to find out the policy before sending other than just a letter or postcard; but finding out would be much appreciated by the prisoner; if you can help them with the costs of stamps and replying! Good point; thanks

This is especially important for penpals from out of the country. It costs $1.00 to send a letter to England. What I've done the first time I've been in contact with a prisoner, is to tell him / her that I want to provide either stamps or money for stamps. Then I'm sure your friend will tell you about the practiciailites. Hope that helps! Greetings, Turid

on this topic; we also can always use CANADIAN stamps or funds to buy Canadian Stamps to respond to prisoners, this is one of CCADPs biggest expenses as we get tons of mail from prisoners. If anyone wants to help with this; you can either do it via paypal on our page; or using a credit card on CANADA POSTs website at www.canadapost.ca you can order stamps to be sent to us. or u can mail them to us This is a huge need and always appreciated.

I know that in Polunsky they are not allowed to get stamps or paper or anything from the outside unless it is sent directly from a place like office max. It is a rule I don't quite understand, but I follow none the less.

In Florida, you may send 20 first class stamps in one letter. We can't buy American stamps in Norway, so what I used to do, was to order 20 first class stamps from: www.usps.comand pay with my VISA card. They got there in only a couple of days. Texas is [glow=red,2,300][/glow]OF COURSE a totally different story Love, Turid

Money can also be sent to Texan inmates through www.jpay.com In Ohio people can send inmates three embossed envelopes in one envelope. You have to be on the visiting list to be able to send them money. In Indiana you also have to be on the visiting list to send money. T

I have just started writting to a man in california, Iam in Australia, can anyone tell me how I can send money for stamps to him? ... Can I send a postal order, do I send it in Australian dollars, or does it need to be in US dollars... Can I buy stamps to send to him, I dont have a credit card so would have to pay here first.... Is there any way of doing it cash on delivery, so he sends and I pay postage when the letter gets to my end.. Any help would be great as I cant send this letter to this man on DR till I sought this out.. Thankyou Tasha

You can send stamps direct. which can be ordered from the US post office online from what I understand. I also have a bunch of US stamps here - a few dollars worth. If you like I can send a few US stamps to him for his reply to you. If you want to send us a few dollars for some Canadian stamps in return u can do it via credit card or paypal on our site; if not we can just send it to him as a favor just let me know who to send it to .... i'll write that they are sent on your behalf. but in future maybe a US member of this board would be wlling to pick up some stamps for you cause we only have them if someone sends them to us... tracy
