Elvire:
Do you know about this website? I would be interested in using it  for the mailbox address.

"It only costs the inmate a first class stamp to send the letter rather than international postage.
We receive the letters usually within 3-5 days of being sent so it gets to you faster than international shipping."

And then they scan the letter. You have to pay 25$ a year for the box and 1$ to receive the scan letter (1$ for 6 images pages, then 2$ for 7-11).

I would be interesting to speed the thing up and it would cost less for my PP since I won't have to pay for international postage (I am from Europe). What do you think?

I use jmail for two of my pals. It's not that much cheaper if you have the letters from your pals sent there, since you pay $1 to download that letter too. It is faster, since the letters stay within the US.

Elvire:
Yes it will be a bit more expansive for me but cheaper for him (since they are not paid to work in Texas, it can make a difference for him). And I will move three times in the next 8 months so I guess it will be easier to keep track !

DanPal:
Hi Elvire,
I'm sure you've checked that your pp is able to respond by JPay, right? Many inmates in Texas are only able to receive JPays but not reply through that service. They have to then reply by snail mail. It still makes it a bit faster, though, if one of the parties is able to JPay now and then :)

Hi DanPal,

Jpay and Jmail are two different things. Inmates don't need to have a jmail account, it's nothing more than a PO Box type of thing. The people at Jmail scan the letters the inmates send so you get a pdf file with their letter.
