About Fast Draw Mail

MicroWorks, Inc. has studied the volume of mail being received and distributed each day by a variety of correctional institutions. Knowing the time spent by the mailroom staff is a major cost; we created a software and hardware system to streamline that process. The mailroom staff currently has to x-ray, open, check for contraband and visually read or scan each letter, insert the letter back into the envelope and sort for delivery. The Fast Draw Mail system from MicroWorks will substantially reduce the time needed to process incoming mail. Keep in mind that each piece of electronic mail that is processed will result in approximately one less piece of surface mail that will have to be processed.

Overview of Benefits

Fast Draw Mail eliminates the following steps:

1. X-ray incoming mail.

2. Searching envelops for contraband.

3. Testing for paper that has been soaked in drug laced liquids.

4. Opening envelopes, reading or scanning the contents of letters, and putting letters back in envelopes.

5. Hand writing or filling out a "Mail Violation" notice and returning letters to the sender.

Fast Draw Mail will speed up mail processing with the following features:

1. Inmate's name, identification number, and complete housing assignment are printed in a large, easy to read font on the cover page. The cover page and letter are automatically stapled together as it comes off the printer for ease of handling.

2. Characters printed are limited to the standard symbols so custom gang symbols will not appear.

3. Printed text is much faster and easier to read than a hand written letter.

4. The Mail Violation notice can be integrated into the Fast Draw Mail software for ease of processing. The inmate's name, state ID number, and housing assignment are automatically populated for notification and delivery within the institution and electronic return to the sender.

Fast Draw Mail also provides these additional benefits:

1. Fast Draw Mail will shield the institution from time consuming calls by providing our own toll-free support line for users questions or problems related to Fast Draw Mail.

2. Greatly reduce the amount of return postage for undeliverable mail; just return it electronically with the "Mail Violation" notice.

3. Track the number of incoming pieces of mail by institution or individual inmate.
