Contact the warden in writing and ask for the correspondence to be stop. That the person receiving it is an underage girl.
However, the real question is - how did the 18 year old get your sister's address?
And if you succeed in stopping him from writing to her - what is to prevent her from getting a....."friend" to receive the letters for her?
Also, if he is writing to her...he may be calling her. Inmates are allowed to make phone calls. She may be taking calls at your house - or at a friend's house.
The real issue here is your sister seems to want the relationship. She may be flattered that a 18 year old is paying attention to her. And he is probably working the angle that "I need your help, you are the only one I can depend on".
If you can get his name, date of birth, and even social security number (I know its a lot to get), then you could contact the prison and they would let you know when he gets out. I would be very concerned that he will come to meet her.
A lot of the inmates are very very good at controlling people. I worked for a state dept of Corrections for 12 years. One of the things I was proudest of getting done was setting up training in "mind games" for the Probation & Parole Officers. Some inmates are sooo da** good at it, even the people watching the inmates/offenders can fall under their control.
YOU ARE RIGHT TO BE WORRIED.

What is TYC? If you feel there is some concern, you should bring the situation up to your parents and let them handle it. If you have actually seen the communications and they contain mature content, you can turn them over to the local authorities (or contact the authorities in the guy's city). You really don't provide enough information to give much advice.

You are right to be concerned. More girls need concerned brothers. I salute you.
1. Her legal guardian(s) can stop it.
2. If TYC stands for Texas Youth Commission, THEY can stop it.
3. Contact one of your legislators (preferably one who campaigns on a child-safety / law enforcement platform).
4. Ask a cop.
5. A few grams of supersonic lead will also stop it. (last resort)

Unless there is evidence of sexual contact, no, there is nothing that can be done at this point. Writing someone underage is not illegal. Now, if they are writing specifically sexual content to her, then thats another story. If you do have a letter that shows this, then you can go to the police with it, or have your parents do it. They may have more impact.
Kudos to you for looking out for your sister.
