In what ways can you send a letter to a prisoner in a pre-trial detention center?


Features of transmitting a message to a pre-trial detention center

The “Internal Rules of Correctional Institutions” regulate the procedure according to which letters and other types of correspondence are drawn up and executed. It is said that the administration is strictly monitoring censorship of such messages, regardless of the source.

There are exceptions for which letters are not checked - when the senders are representatives of institutions:

  1. International human rights organizations.
  2. European Court of Human Rights.
  3. Prosecutor's office.
  4. Court.
  5. Higher government bodies.

Reference! Sending and receiving letters occurs only at the expense of the prisoners. Messages pass strictly through the administration, and there are no restrictions on sending. Letters are usually opened and then carefully studied. Therefore, a certain set of requirements is also imposed on the semantic load and part of the messages.

PROPay

You can top up a prisoner’s personal account with any amount. In this case, you only need to take into account the maximum size of transactions allowed by the rules of a particular bank or payment service.

So, for example, in Sberbank it is allowed to transfer no more than 1 million rubles per day from a card, but if you transfer at a bank branch, the limit is removed. Yandex.Money has a transfer limit for owners of an identified wallet - 3 million rubles per month.

Do you use credit cards?

RegularlyNever

However, you need to remember: the prisoner is limited in his spending. The PEC of the Russian Federation establishes that you can spend from the funds available in your account:

Requirements for letters and their contents

It is necessary to take a responsible approach to the content, because all letters to prisoners undergo strict censorship.

There are two reasons why you are not allowed to write something about a criminal case:

    • After the conclusion, the paperwork does not stop. Providing any important information may be harmful to the prisoner. The information may be obtained by the investigator who is responsible for organizing the investigation.
  1. The danger is also associated with unscrupulous employees who work in the same institution. They are also kept together with the prisoner, which is not always beneficial.

There is also other information that it is recommended not to include in letters:

  1. Words and expressions in foreign languages.
  2. Calls to disrupt the political system, even if they are given as a joke.
  3. Profanity, jargon.
  4. Information about drugs and weapons, their sale.
  5. Any type of communication with the convicted person.
  6. Information regarding the defendants in the criminal case.
  7. A description of any actions of the prisoner that were not previously known to the control services.

The use of photographs with erotic content is also prohibited. It is not prohibited to attach photos of close relatives and family members, but with additional notes.

Attention! It is better to talk in general terms about the current situation in the family. You can write about anything that is not directly related to the criminal investigation.

How to properly format a message to prison and send it

There are several required fields. Many are the same in paper and electronic form, it’s just that the procedure for selecting possible options is slightly different.

    • Where. In the case of an electronic form, this information is indicated at the top. It is enough to enter the first letter to then determine the appropriate region. It is mandatory to select the addressee in the form of the name of the institution; it is also located at the top. All options that may be relevant to the region will be shown. If a green button appears with a message about the possibility of forwarding letters, we can assume that the contact was successful.
  1. To whom? This part is devoted to personal information about the addressee.
  2. From whom . The sender's personal information goes here. There is a separate field to confirm your email address; this information must be entered twice. Be sure to check the box next to the item according to which personal data is remembered. Then the next time you send, you won’t have to re-enter the information and waste time. The system automatically recognizes the user if he regularly
  3. The message sent to the addressee is drawn up by hand or entered in the field called “Text of the letter”. At the top above the column to be filled in, they write how much the page costs. The volume of the design is also displayed there. As new text parts appear, the volume continues to change. The addressee will read the message only after a thorough check by the censor. It is necessary to make additional notes if the letter contains photographs to which you would also like to receive a response.

Important! You can use fictitious names to keep the user anonymous. The same applies to the address for those who intend to hide their connection with the prisoner. No one checks such data; there are no strict restrictions in this direction.

When sending using traditional methods, the entire procedure may take about 14 days. Sometimes the process drags on for a month or more. This is due to the fact that mail is slow.

After delivery to the correctional facility, a special registration is carried out in the appropriate journal. They indicate the date when the message was received. It takes three days for the message to be thoroughly checked by the censor.

The maximum weight for mail is 100 grams. Stamping helps save money on sending parcels. Registered letters are more expensive and take longer to transmit due to the fact that information must be entered into a computer.

Writing emails is very convenient because prisoners themselves can respond in a way convenient for them. Additional features and costs are determined by the region of your current location.

Shipping methods

It is worth highlighting two main methods: standard (a message sent by mail) and an email sent using specialized resources. Using paper media is more common for people, but as a disadvantage of this option, it is worth mentioning at least the delivery time, which includes not only the delivery of the mail itself, but also registration in a pre-trial detention center, as well as verification by censors. As a result, the message can reach the addressee in a couple of weeks at best.

The message is required to include the following mandatory information:

  • name of the institution and its postal address;
  • last name, first name and patronymic of the addressee, his year of birth, without using abbreviations and without errors;
  • sender's contact information - full name and postal address.

The cost of sending this way will depend on the weight of the message and the location of the recipient.

What else do you need to know

If you put something else in the envelope, besides photographs, you should indicate all the information related to this. Otherwise, some of the things, or even all of them, will be completely lost on the way to the recipient. In any colony, stamps with envelopes are generally highly valued. This is a huge service to a loved one.

It is recommended to proofread the text again before sending it so that it passes the proofreader's check.

It is prohibited to openly indicate specific telephone numbers. But on the territory of institutions there are often special payphones from which you can make calls if you have a card on them. If you mention them for the call, it will be easier to avoid problems associated with searches.

It is not worth mentioning like-minded people and their number. Otherwise, regulatory authorities may regard this as subversive activity. Because of this, the senders themselves may find themselves under investigation, and increased attention will be paid to them.
