I’ve been here since August 2023. All of my incoming mail has been tampered with/altered, including legal mail. They open legal mail and copy it when the recipient isn’t present. In addition, you are not allowed to sign for it, so there is no documentation. They stamp a lot of it, “Does not meet BOP criteria for special handling.” And that’s mail from lawyers, district court and appellate court. Then, you’re likely to be time-barred due to the delay.
As for regular mail, if correspondence is double-sided, they’ll only copy one side. It’s emotionally upsetting, and it’s stressful to try to tell all of my loved ones to only write on one side.
