What do you need to write someone in jail?

Question

I just found out that my friends in jail

all i have is his first and last name and the mailing address of the jail, is that all i need?

Answer 1

It might reach him but you also need his computer number. Each inmate has a computer number. Try to write him but get his number to put next to his name too. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Yes, that's all you need.

Answer 3

Yes to get him a first letter, yes. They will get it to him and he can send you the # he has been assigned.  Write him and try to be a friend. Hope he learns from his mistakes. If you can afford to send some money, so that he can purchase items while there. Every little bit would help him so he could buy stamps and paper and pencil, or snacks.  

Answer 4

Call the jail and ask them what specific information you need to put on the envelope so that your friend will receive the letter.

Answer 5

1. Paper to write on.

2. The ability to write legibly.

3. Evelope

4. Stamp

5. Adress of the jail

6. Inmates full name.

Those that say you need a number....not true.  Just the full name is good enough.
