A physical letter is still one of the simplest ways to stay connected with someone behind bars. Whether they’re an inmate, prisoner, detainee, or otherwise incarcerated, a paper letter can be held, saved, and reread—often making it feel more personal and lasting than short calls or limited visits.
Worldwide prison mail depends on accuracy.
When you send letters to any country, small details matter more. The recipient’s full legal name, inmate/prisoner ID or booking number (if applicable), the facility name, and the complete mailing address usually need to match what the institution expects. If anything is off, delivery can be delayed or stopped.
Keep the letter format simple.
Many facilities screen incoming mail. Plain text, normal wording, and a standard letter format reduce the risk of issues. Avoid anything that looks like hidden messaging or unnecessary extras that could complicate processing.
Write online and still send a real physical letter.
If you want worldwide delivery without handling printing, envelopes, stamps, or postage yourself, inlettia offers a straightforward method. You write your letter online, and inlettia prints it, prepares the envelope, applies postage, and mails it through postal mail to detention and prison facilities worldwide—so the recipient still receives a physical letter.
Write from anywhere, send to any country.
Because the writing happens online, you can send a physical letter from wherever you are—home, work, traveling—as long as you have an internet connection and a device. The destination can be any country; the process stays consistent.
