I don't know if I'm allowed to post this link but...

http://www.*******.com/DOM_rev_Chpt5...nmate_Mail.pdf

See page 16-17.
Although its weird because it's referring to correspondence with another inmate, but this is just what I found...
Maybe someone else has a better answer.


Edit:
Okay, looks like it didn't post the link on my end. My apologies. I can't copy paste it.

That means you are sending him mail from another inmate/parolee that was not approved

I doubt it was over the dream. People (including myself) write about things far worse than that. As long as you're not talking about taking action in real life.


It refers to communication with another inmate. And I doubt that you using your cousins address would be an issue either.

Just stating what CDC form 1074 means. Not saying you are.

3139. Correspondence Between Inmates, Parolees, and
Probationers.
Inmates shall obtain written authorization from the Warden/
Regional Parole Administrator or their designee/assigned probation
officer, person in charge of the County Jail and/or other State
Correctional Systems, at a level not less than Correctional Captain/
Facility Captain or Parole Agent III, to correspond with any of the
following:
(1) Inmates under the jurisdiction of any county, state or
federal, juvenile or adult correctional agency.
(2) Persons committed to any county, state or federal program
as a civil addict.
(3) Persons on parole or civil addict outpatient status under the
jurisdiction of any county, state or federal, juvenile or adult
correctional agency.
(4) Persons on probation.
(b) Inmates may initiate requests to correspond with the above
by contacting their Correctional Counselor I (CCI). Parolees may
initiate request by contacting their Parole Agent (PA).
Inmates may be allowed to correspond with the persons described
in subsections 3139(a)(1) through (4) provided those
persons meet the criteria of approval of no known gang affiliation,
or involvement with a known terrorist group or racketeering
enterprise.
(c) The CCI/PA shall interview the inmate/parolee and/or review
their C-file/Field File to obtain the information required to
process an inmate’s Request for Correspondence Approval, CDC
Form 1074 (Rev. 08/87). If an inmate’s request to correspond with
another inmate/parolee is denied, the CCI/PA shall advise the
inmate in writing.
(1) When reviewing the initiating inmates C-file, staff shall
ascertain whether prior approval exists. If prior approval exists, a
copy of the previously approved CDC Form 1074 shall be
forwarded to both institutional mailrooms.
§ 3138 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION TITLE 15
72
(2) When an initiating inmate’s request to correspond with
another inmate meets the criteria for approval per section 3139(b),
and no prior approval exists, the CCI/PAI shall ensure that a CDC
Form 1074 is completed.
(3) If the request is approved, staff shall retain the fifth page in
the C-File/Field/File at the requesting institution/parole office. The
remaining four pages shall be forwarded, intact, to the institution/
parole office/probation office/other county, state or federal facility
where the other requested correspondent is housed. Neither a
photocopy of the CDC Form 1074, nor the fifth page, shall be
forwarded to the C-File or mailroom while the correspondence
approval is pending.
(4) If the request to correspond is denied at the institution/
parole office/probation office/other state correctional facility, the
reason for denial shall be annotated on the CDC Form 1074, and
it shall be returned, in its entirety, to the sending institution/ parole
office.
(5) Copies/photocopies shall not be delivered to the requested
inmate, the receiving institutions mailroom, or the housing unit.
(6) Upon receipt of the disapproved CDC 1074, staff at the
sending institution/field office shall ensure that the 2nd page is
returned to the initiating inmate.
(7) If correspondence is approved at the institution/parole
office, staff shall ensure that the CDC Form 1074 is completed.
They shall retain the third and fourth pages for distribution. If the
third page and fourth pages are not legible, the CCI/PAI shall make
photocopies of the first page prior to forwarding the completed
CDC Form 1074 to the sending institution. The approved CDC
Form 1074 will be distributed as directed on the form.
(8) Photocopies of the CDC Form 1074 shall not be made for
the housing unit(s). The housing units shall not keep records of
approved correspondents.
(9) The mailroom supervisor shall establish and maintain a
record of approved CDC Form 1074s.
(10) When a CDCR inmate requests to correspond with an
inmate in a county, state, or federal facility, or if the request is from
a county, state, or federal inmate, the CCI shall ensure that a CDC
Form 1074 is completed along with a cover letter that thoroughly
explains the need for the CDC Form 1074. If the request is denied,
the CCI shall ensure that a letter is forwarded to the requesting
agency thoroughly explaining the denial.
(d) There shall be no limits set on the number of times approved
inmates/parolees/probationers can correspond with one another
unless revoked. The approval to correspond may be revoked due to
disciplinary violations involving correspondence between the
inmates/parolees or as a result of a classification action based on
safety and security. Any such restriction, or revocation of approval,
shall be communicated to inmate(s)/parolee(s) and to the
warden(s)/parole administrator(s) of the institution/facility where
the inmate(s)/parolee(s) are housed.
(e) Wardens at institutions where there are segregated housing
units such as, but not limited to, Security Housing Units (SHU),
Administrative Segregation Units (ASU), and Psychiatric Services
Units (PSU), shall outline in their local procedure any further
restrictions on correspondence due to safety and security concerns,
limited to those specific housing units.
(f) The most restrictive a facility can be with respect to inmate
mail privileges is to limit correspondence between inmates to only
the following:
(1) Immediate Family Members as defined in section 3000.
(2) Co-litigants on active cases, until the case is resolved.
(3) Incarcerated natural parent of the inmate’s child.
Afacility may not restrict mail privileges between an inmate and
any of the above three types of correspondents, unless the inmate
or the correspondent violates section 3006 or other CCR section.
(g) Approval to correspond shall remain in effect upon transfer
to another departmental facility or another parole office.
(h) If an inmate’s transfer is based on case factors that create
security concerns, such as, but not limited to, placement in SHU,
ASU, or PSU, a reexamination by committee of all approved
correspondence shall be conducted. The CCI shall review and
recommend to committee whether to continue approval of the
correspondence.
(i) If an institution/parole office receives mail from an unapproved
inmate/parolee correspondent, staff shall mark the envelope
with ‘‘Not an Approved Correspondent’’ or equivalent language
and return it to the sender.
(j) Inmates confined in departmental facilities may correspond
with former inmates. Prior approval of the warden, superintendent,
or person in charge of the correctional facility is required if the
person was discharged from a facility within the past twelve
months.

It's not talking ABOUT other inmates. You can talk about others all you want. It's the act of one inmate writing another inmate.



Which reminds me... I sent my guy a letter that was sent to me by his friend (also incarcerated in a different state) in order to send to him. He got the letter. Wasn't sure he would but he did.

Perhaps they made a mistake with your letter? It wouldn't be their first I can assure you that.

[steph316]

Hello So my boyfriend sent a visiting form today!!! I'm beyond excited! I know on the application it asks for my address, I live with my mom and I don't want to get anything mailed here.. Once I get approved do I get any mail from there? I have a p.o. box where my boyfriend writes to.. I know I can't use that as an address.. Or do they just use the address as a just in case thing?

[Xiu Xiu]

There is a Residence Address and a Mailing address on the form. They only thing they will mail is a denial letter.
