Inmate Mail Tips to Follow
Failure to follow the jail’s guidelines can get the inmate in trouble.
Repeated failure to follow guidelines can get future mail from you banned.
Mail is always scanned and inspected for contraband, obscenity and other rule infractions.
Assume that everything you write will be read by jail staff and can and will be used against you or your inmate in court.
Never write anything about the inmate's court case you wouldn't want read aloud in court.
Mail is considered by the jail to be a privilege. Any violations of the mail policies can result in the inmate's mail privileges being suspended.
The introduction of contraband by you into the jail through the mail could result in criminal charges being filed against both you and the inmate.
Inmates at Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center are allowed to make collect calls or direct calls paid for with prepaid phone cards they can purchase from commissary. The typical cost for a direct call using a phone card is approximately $0.21 per minute.
Family and friends cannot call an inmate, leave messages, send a text, send an email, or leave a voicemail. The only way you are going to communicate with an inmate is either by them calling you, or you visiting them. If they have cash on them when they are arrested it will be credited to their commissary account.
You can deposit money for the inmate to purchase phone cards in several ways. You must have the inmate's Booking Number to have any of these deposits credited to their account.
