Can Registered Members Use InmateAid as a Return Address?

I'm a registered user of inmate aid. Can I hand write a letter using inmate aide's address for the return address or can I only use this site if I type and send via the site?

Yes. Registered InmateAid members can use the InmateAid address as their return address on handwritten letters sent directly from home. You are not required to use the platform to type and send every letter to take advantage of the privacy the address provides.
