Contact Bob
Because the Virginia Department of Corrections does not allow inmates to access e-mail, the only way to contact Bob is by mail. Bob welcomes your letters, and answers everyone. There are some rules, though. Letters may not weigh more than one ounce (28 Grams). There must be no stickers on the envelope other than address stickers, and none of any sort on the letter itself. All letters are opened before being delivered to Bob, and may be read by DOC staff. Photographs are allowed, but no larger than 4 X 6 and no more than 5. The total weight of letter and photos must not exceed one ounce. Printouts of web pages are allowed, but printouts of e-mails are not.
If you wish to make a donation toward purchase of books or subscriptions (none of these can be sent directly to me), it would be warmly received. Funds can be sent via US Post Office Money Orders, made out to my full name, # and address. Your full info must also be on the money order. Your generosity is appreciated and will be acknowledged with a thank you note. Legal advice, photographic questions or just support is always welcome.
