Sending a gift that actually gets through
You want to send your loved one something real. Inside, most things cannot be mailed directly. Facilities limit contraband by requiring approved vendors and catalogs, so knowing where to order from is half the work. Here are the resources families use most often.
Approved catalogs and vendors

Before you order
Always check your loved one's specific facility rules. Approved vendor lists vary by state and by facility, and the wrong catalog can mean a package gets rejected. A quick call to the facility or a look at their mail rules page will save a lot of frustration.
