**About Delivery Times
Purple Post delivers instantly to the prison or secure hospital. However, messages may need to pass through security checks (like any other item of mail) before reaching the recipient.
Digitally-enabled establishments: Messages are delivered directly to in-cell devices and are typically available immediately after security processing.
Non-digital establishments: Messages are printed and delivered with the regular mail for that day.
