Inmate Fathers Day Card Swap
Background of the Strong Prison Wives & Families Fathers Day Card Swap
Our Strong Prison Wives & Families Fathers Day Card Swap is an extension of our Holiday Card Swap that we run in December. Here's the story behind how our card swaps began: |
at How our SPWF Card Swap Works
We all know how special it is for an inmate to hear his name at mail call -- especially during a holiday or special occasion. Together, we can ensure our incarcerated loved ones know they are not forgotten by showering them with an array of cards from around the world.
Its this simple: If your loved one is a father, enter your inmate’s name and information and you’ll get 3 inmates names (or more if you chose) for you to send Fathers Day cards to in return. The more people that enter, the more cards your inmate will receive. You can enter as many inmate names as you’d like. You’ll get three names in return for each inmate you enter. If your inmate is not a father but you'd like to volunteer to send cards, please email Ro at [email protected]. We'd really appreciate all of the help we can get, even if you want to send just one card. Lets all help these incarcerated daddy's smile. Please fill out the form below or email JoJo at [email protected] with any questions. Forms must be submitted by June 6th, 2016 for you to participate.

How To Participate In The Holiday Card Swap
Guidelines:
- Let your inmate know that he’ll be receiving mail from your SPWF sisters. Explain that you belong to a support group for families and loved ones of the incarcerated known as Strong Prison Wives & Families, that we are running a Father's Day Card Swap and you added his name to the list. Don’t leave him in the dark and confused about where all this mail is coming from. Lets be transparent.
- Be respectful of your relationship and other relationships. If you do not want other people sending mail to your significant other; or if he doesn’t want you sending a simple card to another inmate, DO NOT enter him in the swap.
- DO NOT send any photos of yourself. Be mature, keep this tasteful and keep it classy. Please sign the card from just your first name. This way we are maintaining a level of respect for each SPW’s relationship. If we are informed that any member crosses any lines, you will be banned from SPWF permanently.
- Do not send musical cards, electronic cards, gifts, money or anything of that sort. They are not accepted in the prison facilities. Please mind the facility’s rules & regulations in the info that you are sent. We want to make sure the inmates receive each card they are sent. That's the whole point of this. ;-)
- We are working on the honor system. ONLY enter the card swap if you are serious about sending cards to the 3 inmates you get in the swap.
- RETURN ADDRESS: Use SPWF’s PO box as your return address: Your name, PO Box 85, Gillette, NJ 07933. DO NOT use personal addresses.
- Please send cards by Monday, June 13th to ensure they are received on time.
- QUESTIONS/CONCERNS - The SPWF Father's Day Card Swap is run by SPWF admin. Please email JoJo at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
