Can family members send money to prisoners via post?

According to Clause 1, Article 9 of Circular 14/2020/TT-BCA stipulating regulations on prisoners receiving gifts, specifically:

When meeting those specified in Article 4 of this Circular, prisoners are allowed to receive gifts in accordance with Clause 3, Article 52 of the Law on Execution of Criminal Judgments 2019, but the total weight must not exceed 05 kg per visit. Additionally, each month, prisoners are permitted to receive money and items sent by relatives (those specified in Clause 1, Article 4 of this Circular) either delivered in person or by postal service up to 02 times according to Clause 4, Article 52 of the Law on Execution of Criminal Judgments 2019; the weight of items sent each time must not exceed 03 kg, and if sent once, the total weight must not exceed 06 kg. In the event that a prisoner refuses to accept the gift sent via postal service, a record must be made regarding the refusal. The detention facility will return the package to the postal and telecommunications agency for return to the sender, and the postage shall be paid by the sender.

Referring to Clause 4, Article 52 of the Law on Execution of Criminal Judgments 2019 which stipulates policies on meeting and receiving gifts for prisoners, wherein:...

Prisoners are allowed to receive money and items sent by relatives via postal service up to 02 times a month. Prisons, temporary detention centers, and criminal judgment enforcement agencies at the district level have the responsibility to receive money and items sent by relatives to prisoners, and to open and inspect the contents to detect and handle items on the prohibited list as prescribed by law.

Thus, based on the above regulations, prisoners can receive money via postal service. The address for sending gifts should be directed to the temporary detention center's address. However, families should contact the detention center in advance for guidance on filling out the details accurately.

Sincerely!
