Ok, to sort of explain this in a nutshell without going into another topic completely; My uncle has been sentenced to life +20 in prison for something that he didn't do (not just that he wouldn't do something like he was accused of, but that he couldn't have done it), however, the trial wasn't fair and the judge seemed crooked, etc... All we can do is hope he gets an appeal and that the justice system actually works this time. I'm not here to get into a discussion of that though, but it's related to the postmaster problem.
My mother in particular has been writing my uncle (her brother) every day since he was sent to prison, and sends him cards very often. With the old postmaster which just quit a couple of months ago, even the larger cards my mother sent would only cost 45 cent for one stamp. Ever since the new postmaster came here, it's cost 65 cent to send, so my mom started sending smaller cards to avoid paying an extra 20 cent, but even some of those have cost 65 cent.
Here's the thing:
The new post master in our post office is a roommate to one of the plaintiffs in the court case against my uncle.
Since our post office is so small, all our mail goes through the larger post office in the next town before it comes or goes, and the postmaster at that post office is the woman who brought up the charges against my uncle in the first place.
Some of the letters my uncle has sent in return, specifically to his wife, have gotten "lost", and all that mail has to be sorted by the postmaster that brought up the charges. This isn't happening anymore though, this only happened within the first month of his incarceration. All mail that was sent to my uncle seems to have made it though.
My mother is the only one with a post office box, the rest of the family has mail boxes, and when they send letters through the mail box, they actually don't get sorted by either local post office.
Now, if I haven't confused you too much, how can we tell that the post master is unnecessarily adding an extra charge to send letters to my uncle just because she is associated with one of the plaintiffs in the case, how could we prove that, and what should we do? How would you report something like that?
