Writing to prisoners is an easy and important way to help ease the isolation of imprisonment. Please write letters to Matt!
Matthew Kyle Duran #42565-086
FDC SeaTac
P.O. Box 13900
Seattle, WA 98198
Make sure that your name and return address, as well as Matt’s full name and inmate number, are included on the envelope and all pages of the letter. There is no limit on how many letters Matt is allowed to have in his cell at any one time. He is allowed to have up to 20 photographs in his cell at once, so send him pictures too! No Polaroids though. Letters should be written in pen on clean and plain lined paper. Letters have been turned away in the past due to small stains from coffee spills, etc., so make sure the paper is immaculate.
Please don’t write about anything potentially incriminating. For more tips on how to write to a prisoner for the first time, see this article: How to Write Your First Letter to Someone in Prison.
Can books be sent too?
Books can only be sent directly from a book store, soft cover only. They’ll charge you for the return shipping if you send it.
Will have a go

Can postcards get through, or does it have to be letters?
Probably not because of ink. Prisoners use it to make tattoo ink.

I’m writing.
Blessed Be¡
Someone send my support – I can’t since I am a convicted felon.
I want to say I’m shocked and can’t imagine this type of thing happening, but then again I’m reminded of some a pretty nasty initiative taken by the FBI involving something about a counterintelligence program, endorsed by somethe dude named Hoover.
Almost feels likegood Usher II from Martian Chronicles…Isn’t amazing what can be done to “neutralize” nonexistant threats?
“Isn’t amazing what can be done to “neutralize” nonexistant threats?” I would have chosen ‘disturbing,’ but yes– VERY.
