How to contact Shawna Forde via mail

Shawna's addresss needs to be as follows (must include inmate # after her name):
Shawna Forde # 260830
ASPC Perryville/ Lumley
P. O. Box 3300
Goodyear, AZ 85395

1.  You must include your full name and address in the return address on the envelope.
2.  No other inmate names can be in the letter, but initials are okay.
3.  All books, cd's and etc must be bought from an acceptable vender, send directly from the vender, and include the packing slip or the prison will not give it to her.  No staples.
4.  No stamps, envelopes, or cash/coin can be sent in the envelope with your letter.
5.  Money may be sent via Jpay using a bank card or credit card then Shawna can buy stamps, writing supplies, and envelopes from her commissary.  It is very apprpropriate to credit the books of any inmate you wish to correspond with as they have to pay for their writing materials and stamps out of their commissary money.  Death row inmates at Perryville do not have jobs and only have what money we send them.
6.  No pictures showing violence, weapons,  drugs, or labeled alcoholic beverages are allowed.
7.  Absolutely NO MAPS
8.  Do not use prison slang or the officials will seize the letter.  

All mail is read, only 3 of the thousands of women at PV have 100% of their mail scrutinized.  The rules for Death Row changed when JA arrived -so they (on DR) are on 100% investigated.  

The next part is from the PV DOC handbook:
Any person may mail general correspondence such as letters, greeting cards, and post cards to an inmate. All
incoming mail is opened and inspected for contraband and unauthorized materials. Mail may not include:
 Packages

 Contraband
 Cell phones or electronic devices
 Cash, coins, personal checks of any kind*
 Unused postage stamps
 Stickers, labels, address labels or decorative stamps

*ADC maintains all money received on behalf of an inmate or earned by an inmate in an inmate trust account.

There is no limit on the number of letters an inmate may receive or send in a week. An indigent inmate, one whose
account balance is $12.00 or less and has not exceeded this amount during the previous 30 days, may send three
letters per week by first class mail without charge. Inmates do not have access to email.

In order to deliver mail to an inmate, the sender must address the correspondence as follows:

Inmate's Assigned Prison and Unit
Inmate's Full Legal Name and ADC Number
P.O. Box (mailing address) of the Unit
City, State and Zip Code



Mail that is not addressed as shown above cannot be delivered to an inmate and will be returned to the sender. See
pages 20 and 21 of this handbook for specific instructions on sending money for an inmate's use.

Inmates may receive prepaid publications mailed directly from the publisher/retailer. The contents of these
publications are subject to inspection. All incoming publications are opened and inspected; nothing of a violent or
sexual nature or that displays nudity is permitted.
