Are inmates of Maricopa County jail allowed mail? I sent my father a postcard. Would he have received it as my aunt also tried to send letters and photos but they were sent back.

It has to be a metered postcard no larger than 4X5, written in blue or black ink. They can have 2 postcards a week, usually takes a few weeks to get one back I've noticed. Hope this helps!

Best advice,leave Arizona,and don't come back. The legal system here is quite fond of ruining lives,just to show you they can.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO WRITE AN INMATE VIA EMAIL ONLINE? DO YOU ALL HAVE A SYSTEM LIKE THAT THERE? I KNOW SOME JAILS DO, SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE IT IS FASTER THAN WRITING A LETTER. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

You can't just call an inmate - you either have to go visit them or they have to call you. If you want to get the inmate to call you send a letter.
