A friend of mine is in county jail and I need to get in contact with him quickly. I plan on sending a letter to him through overnight mail. If I write a letter- should I include a stamps & envelopes? Are those things free in jail or does he have to buy them? I don't think he has any money at his disposal in there but I don't know for sure.
He tried to call me, but I never realized cell phones can't accept collect calls- I did a bit of digging online and I see I have to set up a prepaid account for him to call me. I don't mind doing this but I would hate to lose money if I set it up and I still can't get call to the phone. (I read that when setting it up you shouldn't tell them it is a cellphone or they won't do it). Secondly what if he is released? They won't tell me the court date- he was arrested on friday, anyone know how long those things take to happen? There was a warrant out for him over something that happened about 2 or 3 years ago.

Thats what happened to me. Fortunately I kept calling and my friends set up accounts.
