How many letters can a prisoner write?

What does Delhi’s jail manual say?
According to Delhi Jail Manual, a prisoner lodged here has the right to write as many letters as he wants. However, he will not get expenses from jail for this. This means that a prisoner in jail can write as many letters as he wants at his own expense. But before sending the letter out, it is checked once and if anything written in the letter causes a breach in the security of the jail, then the prisoner is asked not to write that part of the letter.
How do prisoners earn money in jail?
Prisoners in jail get money according to their work. However, this money is not available in currency but in coupons. Now the question arises that how much money do the prisoners in jail get?
