Writing Overseas

7/11/2016

 
I was finally able to tackle several letters from friends who live overseas...
Since my transfer I have been far behind with much of my correspondence, to include about fifteen letters
from other countries. In any case, over the weekend I was able to answer three letters, mailing them this morning. Two are going to New Zealand and one to Great Britain. Only three letters, but at least it's a start.

In addition, I was able to complete several recent entries for my journal. Now I have to work on getting copies made of each page before mailing off the originals for eventual posting. It's a complicated process, really. There are rules for making copies, for sending out over-sized envelopes, and for sending mail overseas. A form needs to be filled out for copies, as I have to pay for them from my inmate spending account. And a form needs to be completed to deduct postage from the account for overseas correspondence. Then, I have to give the disbursement form plus whatever air mail I wish to send to the correction officer on duty in my housing area. He, in turn, is required to take the paperwork for the deduction of postage along with each of my overseas letters to an area near the administration offices when he leaves his post at the end of his shift where there's a special drop box for him to put my correspondence in. Whew!

Thankfully this doesn't apply to regular first class letters. I can put my own stamps on these, then drop them
in another mailbox that's right outside my housing area.
