Back when my brother was in jail, I was personally boosting that percentage by writing to him every week. Sometimes, he'd even write back. (some/most jails are wicked restrictive on correspondence and Internet access, and a letter is much cheaper than a jail phone conversation.)

    It sucked being the kid at summer camp that never got mail. I figured jail was similar, so I made sure he had mail. I didn't always have much to say, so often I'd send a greeting card filled with writing or sometimes just a post card. The act of sending/getting mail was the important bit.
