I wanted to send my friend at NHSPW some German church songs (the music notes and text). That the inmate knows what the songs are about I thought I translate them into English. But I think they sound better in their original text in German. So what I wanted to do is, to write the notes along with the original German text on one side of the sheet and on the back side the German text with the translation into English, so that my friend knows the meaning of the text and that the screening officers know, that this is no code. If I did so, do you think my friend will receive the songs?

It may cause them to scratch their heads! Good question! It's not like NH is a gang infested prison passing "Kites" and code, but it may cause a little hesitation.
You know what? Just do it, I'm curious myself. This is a first for me! French and Spanish are the two more commonly known languages around these parts.
LOL, but I know some locals that could use some "proper" English language lessons around here too!
Give it a shot and let us know!
