Hello, Yes you Can inmates can have 2 books of stamps, make sure you write their info on the back of them in case they are lost or they want to put 1 book of them in their property also they can have 20 envelopes and 2 legal pads of paper. I hope this helps.
You should look on line at the state your in and get the 800 number then you can call and they will be able to tell you. It usually takes up to 10 days from the day you send in your paperwork for them to send your check
