How to send a letter to a juvenile hall?
Yes, you can address it to him in care of the facility. Write your return name and address clearly on the front, or the facility will return it unopened. You need to know that everything either of you send in or out will be read by someone monitoring the facility's mail. Any mention of things illegal (even beer) will get your friend in trouble. Anything the seems like a code or innuendo will get you banned from mailing things to the facility. Inmates in Los Padrinos can only keep five photos, so ask before you send one. He will have to prioritize. Don't send anything else. No stickers, no cards, no glitter, no staples. Nothing but sheets of paper, with ink and/or pencil on them.

How long would it take for a letter to get to an inmate? Should I send it on a Monday or a Friday?
Mail as soon as you write it. Don't hold on to a letter you wrote on tuesday for mailing on friday. There's only two other things that can make a prisoner happy besides getting mail, getting a visit and getting the hell outta prison.Hearing your name at mail call is one of the best feelings an inmate gets in prison. A letter from the outside world can carry an inmate for weeks. I seen so many men broken because no one on the outside cared enough to send a letter that after a while they stopped going to mail call.Don't wait. Send the letter as soon as you can and make someones day, week or month. Cards are a great too. Just drop a card and let the card speak for u sometimes. Or a book. Anything to let that person know u care.Trust me.
How to send a letter to a juvenile detention center inmate?
My boyfriend recently got arrested and was put into a juvenile detention center. He has been writing me letters to his parents address, and I went to write back and put the address of the facility with his name, but do I need to put his inmate number? He didn't give me one is the problem. I put the exact thing he put on the return address. I'm really confused on how this works. Also, what are the rules on what can be said in the letters? Obviously no cursing, inappropriate things but anything else? We live in texas.
How long does it take for a letter from inside a juvenile detention to arrive?
I have someone in a facility I'm trying to keep in touch with. He apparently sent me a letter on 10/16, and then he sent another one yesterday (10/21) and was surprised I still never recieved his first one. I live in Michigan and the facility he's at is only half an hour away, and it's already been a week. I haven't sent him any yet, I'm waiting until I receive both of his to reply, also I don't know how to address the letter. Being I am not immediate family he can only send letters to his house. His mom was going to bring the letter to me once she received it.

What does it feel like to go to a juvenile detention center?
When I first went to JDC, I was scared because it was my first time in juvenile detention and I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. As soon as I got into intake area, they asked me to stand up against the wall and patted me down. Then they searched all my pockets and took everything out of my pocket. Then they asked me to stay in the holding cell and did some paperwork before my booking process could begin. Then they told me to come out of the holing cell and took me to the shower room and strip searched me to see if I have any contraband and make sure I don’t harm any other people. I had to take off all my clothes and they searched all my body parts. I was so embarrassed but I can understand it now because it is for everyone’s safety and if I imagine that other juvenile inmates don’t get searched and they can bring something that can hurt me, it is scary. When the search was over, I was asked to take a shower and given my detention underwear, jumpsuit, white T-shirt, socks and flip-flops. Then they took my mugshot and put an ID wristband on my wrist. As soon as I put on all these JDC outfits, the female officer looked at me for about 10 seconds without saying anything and I could understand what it meant even though she didn’t say anything. I could feel that she was kind of trying to say that I’m now a juvenile inmate in that detention jumpsuit and I’m in their custody. After that awkward few seconds, I was suddenly ordered to keep my body straight, my eyes forward, and my feet flat to the floor and put my hands behind back. I also was ordered to call the officers sir or ma’am. There were many disciplinary actions and rules/policies that I had to follow. I was overwhelmed on my first day in juvenile detention because I had never imagined myself being in juvenile detention and I couldn’t believe that I was actually wearing that JDC uniform as a juvenile inmate. On the second day, I was more surprised because I was fully shackled with belly chains, and leg irons when I was going to court. I wanted to hide when people could see me in the jumpsuit and shackles. But I got used to it as time went by and I know that it was for everyone’s safety. It was a very educational moment in my life. It definitely changed me.
