Joe Exotic asks that you keep your letter five pages or less. We hope you weren’t planning on sending Joe the first draft of your novel. You can type your letter or handwrite it.

You might be able to send Joe a drawing if it’s in blue or black ink on white paper, but you’ll run the risk of the letter never reaching him.

It’s unclear, but Joe Exotic also asks that you avoid mailing index cards. These rules may be included because the prison won’t allow them.

As much as Joe seemed to love a good party on Tiger King, try to avoid any talk about drugs or alcohol. Resist the impulse to hop on the Carol Baskin hate train if you’re going to say anything that might get you in trouble.

If your letter comes back unopened, Joe isn’t accepting letters at this time. [6] X Research source If your letter comes back partially destroyed or torn, it wasn’t Joe trying to diss you. He wrote something the prison didn’t like and they redacted it.
