CAMPAIGNERS have slammed a prison’s “cruel” decision to ban inmates receiving letters and photos unless they are sent through Moonpig and Funky Pigeon. 

The new rule is due to be introduced later this month at HMP the Mount, a category C men’s prison in Hertfordshire, in order to crack down on drugs entering the prison, governor Paul Creasy announced on Twitter. 

Only cards and photographs sent through “trusted sources,” including Funky Pigeon, Moonpig and Freeprints will be accepted, he said.
