Overcrowded, the Federal Bureau of Prisons must house prisoners far from their homes.
Visits are expensive and usually infrequent.
For many of us, a phone call is the only consistent, personal contact we have with our imprisoned loved ones. For small children, hearing mommy or daddy's voice is much more satisfying than reading them a letter, though letters are part of our family relationships, too. We are mounting a campaign to stop this restriction. Regional Leaders are researching what can be done, and to whom we direct correspondence and phone calls to. We apologize that we cannot give you a name to direct your letters to, but each time we call various offices of the BOP, we are told that our letters should be directed elsewhere.
