Prisoners Correspondence

We have been getting a few questions about what can be sent into UK Prisons. One question that comes up time and time again is about Prisoners Communications and that is 'are you allowed to send in stamps to a UK prisoner?' Strange though it may seem stamps themselves are not actually allowed, but Stamped addressed envelopes (SAEs) are!

We have added to the document download section on the website PSO 4411 Prisoner Communications - Correspondence. This is the regulations for Prisoners correspondence in the UK only. It is in word format.

Interestingly enough, some UK prisons do not allow SAEs in even, yet the regulations say that they are to be allowed. Regulation 3.9. If you have the regulations for anywhere else in the world, that would be welcome.
