How Do You Write A Letter To A Prison Inmate. The party should handwrite the sender’s and recipient’s names and addresses on the envelope. An average for me has been 2 to 3 weeks for a response, often sooner based on where the inmate is.

Write the full name of the prisoner. I have found it varies from institution and what all the inmate has going on. Some correctional facilities may contract with private companies located in a different state to receive and process their incoming mail.
