Having spent 18 days there myself, I agree with you. Also, if you're writing a letter to an inmate, don't write it on the back of your 1993 Gary Larson "The Far Side" page-a-day calendar. Some of the screeners will assume you've dipped them in LSD or something.

Oh for crap's sake, we live in the God dammed future. Doesn't the damn jail have a fax machine or something?

But atomic, if someone sent a fax to a prisoner, then somebody would have to deliver it to the addressee, and that means someone would have to get off their ass and do something. Can't have that, now can we.
