Typically the answer is no. Some prisons will allow you to send up to a specific number of stamps to an inmate during a certain time frame however many other prisons consider sending stamps to inmates as contraband. This is because in prison stamps can be used as a form of currency between inmates and sometimes causes problems.

Since there are so many regulations and they differ from state to state and even prison to prison, we are unable at this time to offer a service at this time that sends stamps to inmates for you. It may be something that is added in the future if we are able to develop a process that works for everyone.

What we do offer is our Jmail Box service where if you are overseas, they can send their letters to us here domestically so it will only cost them a First Class stamp rather than having to pay more than double for international shipping.
