Mail
Detainees may send and receive letter size mail (not packages or large envelopes, with the exception of legal correspondence). All letters must go out and come in by US mail. Free letter day is Wednesday. Stamps may be delivered or mailed to the WSDJSC for detainee's use to facilitate additional written communication. Envelopes are to capture address and return address. Envelopes must not encompass any stickers, drawings, etc. or mail service may be interrupted and the l etter returned to the sender or placed in the detainee's property until release.

A 10-minute limit is placed on all calls to ensure all detainees have access to the telephones. Local attorney calls may be made from the dayroom telephones free of charge. Detainees are not allowed to receive incoming telephone calls.
