Anyone who knows a prisoner knows how important to them to receive mail, especially at this time of year. Many prisoners receive no outside support at all.
I don’t care if you send a Christmas card, a holiday card, or whatever. Neither will they.
Here is a list of prisoners who’d be delighted to get a card:

Unfortunately, New Hampshire prisoners are not allowed to receive greeting cards of any sort, picture postcards, or any typewritten or printed material. Only handwritten letters on stock paper are permitted. Here is a li nk to their cruel and draconian policy:

One wonders why the ACLU is not protesting this blatant violation of the First Amendment.

would you like me to hand draw you some cards? i am a graphic designer, and it looks like hand drawn cards are okay. if you would like this, do get in touch with me via facebook, i guess. i am finally getting back to work after three years of real illness—and a year of medication, thanks to the ACA! i do not mind doing pro bono work for a good cause, and perhaps this might help—acceptable cards for people to sign and send? i’d be glad to do it, just let me know…..
Unfortunately drawing are also not allowed. A really dreadful policy.
