> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tatertot \* > \*\*Hey, **TN** , do you know the policies the jail has about what can be mailed in? For example, could I mail you some stationery and stamps? How about books and magazines? Could I send you a money order to buy snacks? (Don’t say I shouldn’t - I wasn’t going to send very much anyways!) > \*\* Hey tater’ To answer your questions. In general, stamps and stationary are fine. They’ll probably frown on books, but magazines should be fine. I’d suggest no adult 'zines, though. I think a money order made out to the jail should be ok, but since **TN** is only in for a month, it might be a moot point. Probably the best thing is to call information and get the number for the jail and ask them what would be prohibited through the mail. Cheers! ---

Take care, Hippie. Remember to grafitti lots of limericks on the walls. And be properly respectful to anyone weighing over 300 pounds. ---

Got your address down and have been working on suitable limericks. Damn, this is the pits. You probably can’t _read_ this now. Well, get ready for paper mail. I just hope the lockup doesn’t screen for godawful poetry. Veb ---
