The only problem regarding the drug program was space availability, beside that it was just a matter of applying. Myreo,

Copy machine are available to inmates in the library and copy cards are needed to operate them, copy cards are sold in the commissary. Joselynne,

I also want you to know that when the BOP sends items back to the sender it's usually at the lowest cost and slowest mailing. I remember an item taking about 3 weeks before my wife got it back. It's also possible and rare on some occassions depending on which officer comes across the mailings that it will get through. I remember my wife sending something, being rejected the first time but the second time she sent it in a different package by itself it got through, so you never know sometimes. In regards to a "shot" it's more reserved to what the inmate does or involved with rather than a loved one. Thank you for passing the website information to your sister, it's all about helping and providing support. Thank you also about the information on tracking mail, good information for others to know. Take care and God bless. Tasalaiz, Thank you for the wonderful comments and you are very welcome.

Thank you very much, I will not panic now. It was a hardcover book, so I'll expect a notice from them. I was planning on going to USPS tomorrow and filling out form 1509 to try and recall the mail. I guess I will just wait for their response now. I am so relieved that he will not be suffering "a shot" for my lack of knowledge. Also thank you, this web site provides many (me) with a peace of mind; it is very helpful, very good info. I sent the link to my sisters so they can also find answers to their questions. If anyone ever wondered USPS web site: Recall of Mail: Sender May Recall Mail (cost?) Mail deposited in a collection box or at a post office may be recalled, with proper identification, by the sender or the sender’s representative. Form 1509 must be submitted to the postmaster at the office of mailing. [D030.1.1] Ok. Thank you very much, I will not panic now. It was a hardcover book, so I’ll expect a notice from them.

Anything they consider inappropriate or contraband is sent back to the sender with an explanation why it was not accepted. If the novel was a paperback there should be no problem and yes it is better to have books sent by a publisher (especially hardcover books) to avoid delay and hassle.
