If I paid for a postcard how and when does the inmate receive it?

Postcards are processed immediately upon entry unless after 6pm on Saturday, those will process Monday morning.

Postcards are processed immediately upon entry unless after 6pm on Saturday, those will process Monday morning. We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff reads each piece of incoming mail. Once they decide the mail is fit to be handed out at mail call, your inmate will receive it. Any delay that occurs at the facility is out of our control. We make no guarantees as to how long it will take as there are thousands of facilities and none of them do things the same way.
