"Mail?
Privileged Mail
Privileged mail is mail to or from attorneys, authorized representatives acting in their official capacities, legal aid services, or other agencies providing legal services. Incoming mail will be opened for inspection in the presence of the offender – it will not be read. Outgoing mail will not be opened unless there is a reasonable belief that there is contraband or information relative to the breach of security inside the envelope.
Non-privileged Mail
This mail consists of all mail that is not defined above. Outgoing mail of this type will not be opened unless there is reasonable belief that there is contraband or information within that could jeopardize the safety and security of the institution. Incoming mail will be opened with the offender present and checked for contraband and money. You will receive a receipt for any money received. The mail will not be read. If there is reasonable belief that incoming personal mail contains substance or information that would violate institutional security, or if the mail is from another Correctional institution it may be opened and read without the offender being present. If you wish to write to another inmate who is housed in this facility, it will be necessary for you to use the Federal mail system to do so. Nuisance bulk mail is not authorized, and will be disposed of upon arrival.
a. All outgoing mail must have a return address to include your full name and the Facility address, or it will be returned to you.
b. Outgoing mail addressed to government officials and other Official entities may be inspected in the presence of the inmate with due cause.
c. All incoming mail will be inspected at random for contraband. Introduction of contraband by mail, to include tobacco, postage stamps, matches, drugs, weapons, or any other non-approved item is a violation of the law and could result in felony charges being filed against you.
d. You may receive photographs as long as they are no larger than 3 by 5 inches and do not depict nudity or semi-nudity of anyone or gang related materials. You may not, however, have more than 10 photographs in your possession at any time. Computer images are acceptable, each sheet is one picture, and this is not to be posted.
