How do you find out an imates inmate ID number? I sent a letter to them but I didn't put the ID number because I didn't know theirs?

You can try vinelink.com for the inmate ID number. If the letters do not have the ID, the mail room staff by rule could reject the mail. It depends on whose working at the time, some are nice and let it go, others not so... and play it by the book
