[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 446005, member: 1233"] I do not think that most facilities CAN withhold mail no matter who it is from. How do you think serial killers get all those girlfriends? Tampering with the mail, including not giving it to an inmate, is a federal charge. If the difficult child is a minor they do the list thing so the parents can know who is contacting their child. Once the person is an adult no country or state jail or psychiatric hospital or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is allowed to not give them their mail. period. The federal courts get REALLY involved in cases involving not giving prisoners mail. We learned this when Wiz was in the psychiatric hospital because one kid I did NOT want him to have contact with kept writing him letters. We had to get Wiz to turn over the mail after it was delivered to him. If it came to our home we could stop it, our right as his parents, but the psychiatric hospital had gotten in trouble doing that for a teen. Once they were out of the little kid wing (ages 3 and up), the kids got the mail and we could take it away when we came if we wanted. We just told the boy we didn't want to contact him that he was home and if we got letters from him we were going to get a restraining order. [/QUOTE]
