Two Hours on the Weekend, Then the Rest of the Week

East Jersey’s two-hour contact visits run on Saturday and Sunday mornings, 9 to 11, so most of the week passes without one. A letter or a handful of photos sent through Pigeonly from your phone gets printed and mailed, so the rest of the week has something from you in it.
