how long does it normally take for a magazine subscription to be delivered to prison

Hi. I Just order a 1 year of magazine subscription to my husband, how long does it normally take, for it to be delivered to him? He's at Garner Correctional institution in Newton / CT. Thanks. God Bless.!

There are many publishers and they all have a slightly different response to this question.

There are many publishers and they all have a slightly different response to this question. The rule of thumb is it takes about 8-10 weeks for the first issue to deliver. If you ordered from a subscription card inserted in a store magazine, the paragraph about delivery also suggests it "could take 8-10 weeks for the first magazine to arrive." The facilities will only allow magazines sent directly from the publisher. Our partners are honest and responsible.
