Hi everyone, hope you are all okay!



im very new to all of this and have been thrown into the deep end with ways to contact my person.

ive recently used the app e-mates so that I can contact my person but was just wondering if anyone knows roughly how long it would take to receive a reply?



thanks!!

It depends.

Sometimes only takes about 4hrs but if you attach photos they are vetted first x

I think this varies between prisons. Some prisons have in cell tablets other have the emails printed and delivered to them. They go through some automatic and manual vetting. As the post above says, attaching images usually delays things and do very long emails, we found emails were quicker if they were brief (not ideal in this situation where there is so much to discuss)
