Yes, your husband at Lehigh County Jail is allowed to receive mail, and letters sent through InmateAid are designed to meet facility requirements.
How it works:
- Your letter is printed and mailed via USPS
- It arrives at the facility just like regular mail
- Mailroom staff inspect it for contraband before delivery
How you will know:
- You will see confirmation in your account when the letter is mailed out
- Delivery inside the facility depends on their mailroom process, which can take a few extra days
About acceptance:
- InmateAid follows standard mail rules used by most prisons and jails
- No extra inserts or prohibited materials are included
- Photos are printed on proper photo paper, which helps avoid rejection
What to expect:
- 1–3 days to reach the facility
- A few more days for inspection and delivery to your husband
There is always a small delay once mail arrives at the jail, but in nearly all cases, your letter will be delivered as long as the inmate information and address are correct.
