Woman goes postal to help incarcerated hubby

They were lovebirds. Last year the Pasco Sheriff’s Office instituted a new mail policy: It outlawed sending letters in envelopes to inmates in order to reduce the contraband flow into the jails. So now if you correspond with an inmate, you have to use a postcard. And that’s what Virginia L. Jacobs, 53, did. She sent her husband, Robert M. Jacobs, 49, an inmate, seven postcards. But these postcards had a little something extra on them. An alert clerk in

the jail’s mail room noticed a bumpy-looking stamp. A deputy peeled the stamp back to reveal a blue powder — which later tested positive for oxycodone, reports the St. Petersburg Times . “I just can’t do anything without you,” she wrote on a postcard. “I sure do love and miss you a whole bunch.” Now Virginia Jacobs and her husband are both jailbirds.
