It takes a few days to make it into the hands of the inmate. The delivery takes 2-3 business days and then once in the mail room, all mail is inspected and read for content. There are delays that occur once there that are out of our control. Please be patient, our delivery success is almost 100%. We do not have an independent verification system - your inmate will have to let you know they've received it.
