We handle the printing, formatting, postage, and delivery, all while following correctional facility guidelines.
Whether you're staying in touch with family or reconnecting with someone you care about, our inmate correspondence service helps you do it right.

If you’ve ever tried mailing a letter to a correctional facility, you know it’s not as simple as dropping it in a mailbox. There are strict rules about what can be sent, how it must be addressed, and what formats are allowed. A minor mistake, such as the wrong envelope, too many pages, or an incorrect return address, and your letter may be rejected without explanation.

That’s why people choose Pigeonly.
