USP COLEMAN I
P.O. BOX 1033
COLEMAN, FL 33521

General correspondence is opened and inspected by staff for both contraband and content that "might threaten the security or good order of the institution."
All letters must have a return address on the envelope. Please also put a return address on the letter itself, as prisoners are almost never given the envelopes.
Avoid using white-out, stickers, tape, colored ink or glitter.
Written correspondence and drawings may be in pencil, standard ink pen, typewritten, or computer generated. No felt pens, markers, crayon, or colored pencil, etc.
Do not send postage stamps or self-addressed stamped envelopes. Leonard must purchase stamps and stationary from the prison commissary.
Please also do not send gifts of any kind as they will be rejected. Also note that tobacco ties and the like are prohibited.
There is a limit of 25 photos that Leonard is permitted to have in his possession at any one time, so we recommend that you import images to a word processed page (as part of a letter you send, for example) or that you make a photocopy of the original photograph. If you do send a photo, generally, 4x6 size or smaller is preferred. These photos must be non-polaroid, and cannot contain nudity or be suggestive in nature.
All personal artwork must be in black and white, photocopied pages can be in color.
Most facilities do not allow torn pages from books, magazines or newspapers. You may send photocopies of such items.
You may arrange for new paperback books to be sent to Leonard (hardbound books are prohibited). He may receive only several books at a time, and they must be received directly from a retailer or publisher.
Leonard may receive certain commercial publications, i.e., he can subscribe to or receive publications without prior approval as long as the incoming publication is not "detrimental to the security, discipline, or good order of the institution, or facilitate criminal activity" and as long as the publication is received directly from a retailer or publisher.
