Why Contacting an Inmate Can Be Frustrating and Time-Consuming?

As long as you follow all the rules and regulations, contacting an inmate is simple. The problem is when you make a small mistake in the address, incorrectly enter an inmate's name or ID number, or get confused about the visitation rules. There's also the chance your friend or a family member has been transferred to a different prison without you realizing it. These errors can result in delays, denied visits, and returned mail. If you accidentally send money to the wrong inmate, you typically can't get that money back.

When locating an inmate or writing letters, DoNotPay can help ensure you follow the process, so your mail is delivered as quickly as possible. Our Connect With an Inmate product makes it fast and easy to find inmates and send correspondence.
