Letters from Kevin Walsh in the Arizona State Prison

Some of Kevin's and Laro's letters have been getting odd postmarks. Since Kevin is jailed in Tucson, Arizona you would expect his letters to have a Tucson postmark. And since Laro is jailed in Safford, Arizona you would expect Laro's letters to have a Safford Postmark or the postmark of the nearest major city to Safford. But oddly both Laro's and Kevin's letters sometimes have PHOENIX postmarks?

Why? I don't know!

I asked one dim-bulbed postal clerk, and she said that Safford and Tucson are subrubs of Phoenix and thus the mail is processed by the Phoenix Postal Center. Duh!!!!! Lady Tucson is not a surburb of Phoenix!! Tucson is 100 miles south of Phoenix. Safford is not a surburb of Phoenix either. It is almost on the New Mexico border while Phoenix is in central Arizona!
