I learned this morning that Lisa is at the Federal Detention Center in Miami. Rather, I learned that her mailing address is there. As a traveler arrived from abroad, she is quarantined because of the Covid-19 epidemic. I don’t know that she has Covid. Nor do I know that such quarantines are done on site there at FDC Miami.
She is doing OK and would like to hear from members of her faith community. Her address is:
Lisa Miller
No. 0147207
PO Box 019120
Miami FL 33101
Remember inmate mail is subject to inspection and reading by prison officials. Feel free to encourage Lisa, but avoid direct references to parties involved. Be sure what you write does not distract any “reviewers” and “proofreaders” from the name of Christ.
My source says, “If you don’t want to wade through all the guidelines below, just write her on a clean piece of white paper in black or blue ink and it should be good to go.”
For those of you who want to do that and/or more, please review the following restrictions and guidelines…

And if that facility is like the restrictions for grading Gospel Echo lessons, don’t use a pen with gel ink.
Thank you, Ted, for taking the time to pass along that valuable tip!
I just got a 419 Fund e-mail stating that Isabella is staying in Nicaragua for the time being. Any confirmation of that?
Hello, Lydia. Thanks for reading and commenting. Please stand by for confirmation or correction…
