Important Information Regarding "Inmates Not Receiving Mail" List

In an effort to keep track of the "Inmates Not Receiving Mail" list, in late October we sent postcards to the inmates on the list at that time. This postcard stated:

You are receiving this card because you are listed on LostVault’s “Inmates Not Receiving Mail” (NRM) list. This list is reserved for inmates who have had an ad on LostVault for at least 3 months without receiving a pen pal. This is an attempt to determine if you have found a pen pal from LostVault. Please send us a letter informing us if you have or have not established a friendship from our service.

If we do not hear from you within 30 days of receipt of this card, we will assume you have a pen pal and remove you from the NRM list. Your ad will remain in the regular listings until it’s expire date. After that time, your free world loved one can repost your ad for free online, or our staff can do it for you for a $5 fee (death row ads are free - we do verify DR status). Note that any ad placed by our staff requires an application. You may obtain one by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to the address above. Should you need further information, please write to us at the above address and include a SASE for a reply.

The inmates that did not respond to us and who were on the list in October were removed from the NRM today. We feel that we have been fair in allowing extra time for replies and/or return of postcards to us for non-delivery.

If you listed an inmate who was removed from the NRM list and you know they are not receiving mail, please send an email to penpals@lostvault.com Please include the inmate's name and DOC# in your email.

Sincerely,

LostVault
