Answer 1

Post office?

Answer 2

try asking the post office.

it's harder to smuggle is drugs in a post card.

Answer 3

Go to any U.S. post office where you can buy them and ask them to put a meter on them instead of a stamp.  People try to smuggle drugs into jails underneath stamps is probably why they won't allow them.

I have found LSD soaked paper and many other things people try and send into jails.

Answer 4

Makes it easier to censor what is written and flesh out the gang talk, plus makes it less likely that drugs will be embedded.  Good idea.
