To Sue and all potential donors,
I would suggest sending your plant donations to Sue's home
address, rather than the prison. I know it's a minimum security facility,
and the inmates who might see the address labels are women & probably
trustworthy, but the reality is that there are some people in correctional
facilities who will try to get over if they can. You don't want someone
who opened your package showing up on your doorstep later to say
thanks. My signifigant other works in corrections, and some of the stories
I've heard...
