In the past several years, whenever someone
has begun writing to me, they have more often than not asked whether or
not they were allowed to send me anything: care packages, money, books,
etc. Well, allow me to enlighten you! :)
There are, in fact, a
number of things that you can do if you want to brighten my day. The
most obvious is a donation of money. You cannot send cash, checks, or
money orders. The only way to send money to me is to go to www.JPay.com and wire funds electronically. On JPay you will see two
options: Inmate Trust Fund, and Inmate Media Fund.
The Inmate Trust Fund is my Commissary account. I can use money
wired here to purchase food, hygiene, stationary, and personal clothing
items (shoes, t-shirts, boxers, socks, sweats, thermals, etc.).
The Inmate Media Fund is strictly for my JP4 Media Player. The
JP4 is a 5" touchscreen mini-tablet through which I can play music and
type emails. Monies wired into my Media Fund are used for two things
only: purchasing music and purchasing the electronic stamps that I need
in order to send emails. I can purchase 40 e-stamps for $9.99. The music
ranges in cost, but a typical album is $15.97.
There is
supposed to be a JP5 becoming available in the next year or so, which is
an upgraded device with a bigger screen and more memory. I have no idea
when precisely it will become available, but when it does, my
understanding is that I will then have access to purchasing e-books and
movies for it as well (You can find out more by going to JPay.com).
You
can order subscriptions to magazines and comic books and have them sent
to me. You are also allowed to order back issues for me. In general,
I'm a geek--I Love RPG 'zines (like Dragon and its sister publication Dungeon), gaming magazines, and just about anything put out by Marvel.
You
can also order books for me. I Love Manga and graphic novels! But if
you order, be sure to buy used so as to save yourself money.
When
ordering books, or Manga or magazines *whatever* you order
will be perfect. If you are the kind of person that enjoys my Blogs, I'm
certain our tastes are the same--what you like, I'll like. :)
No matter what, *THANK YOU!!!!*
