Inmates do not receive mail on weekends. Mail call at correctional facilities runs Monday through Friday only.

InmateAid does process and send letters on Saturdays, so an order placed on Saturday goes into the mail that day. However, the postal system does not deliver to facilities on weekends, and facility mail rooms do not distribute incoming mail on Saturdays or Sundays. A letter mailed on Saturday will arrive at the facility on Monday at the earliest and reach your inmate at the next scheduled mail call after that.

If timing matters for a particular letter, placing the order earlier in the week gives you the most predictable delivery window.
