How Do I Forward Magazines to My Inmates New Facility?

I am wondering how I can get magazines transferred from one facility to another. They are continuing to go to the old facility prior to being transferred to the new one. Thanks!

If you purchased the magazine subscriptions through InmateAid, this is straightforward. Just email InmateAid the new facility name and address and the team will contact the publisher directly to update the delivery address. Your inmate will not miss an issue in the process.

If the subscriptions were purchased elsewhere, you will need to contact each publisher directly and provide the updated facility address along with your inmate's full name and ID number. Publishers typically allow address changes by phone or through their website, and most will apply the change starting with the next available issue. It is worth doing this as soon as possible since magazines are often printed and shipped weeks in advance of the cover date.

Going forward, purchasing subscriptions through InmateAid makes transfer address changes much easier to manage since it is handled in one place.
