No more mail call as Florida prisons replace letters with digital copies

Florida is following the lead of other states that have restricted prison mail. Pennsylvania began digitising prison mail in 2018. In 2020, Texas banned greeting cards, postcards and any artwork using paint or glue. Indiana and Michigan have also implemented various limitations on prison mail. — Icons vector created by rawpixel.com - www.freepik.com
