No way

As a former prison worker, I can tell you there is absolutely no way. All mail has to be opened and screened before it goes into the institution and this would not be feasible with actual mail. They may have work-release people working at the post office on the machines that self sort, but no way mail is being taken to a prison and sorted by inmates.
