How to Send Mail or Package

Inmates are allowed to receive mail from their friends and family while incarcerated. All incoming mail must be addressed with the Inmate name and Inmate ID and have a return address on the envelope. All incoming mail must be in the form of a letter or postcard. That is because all mail must be able to be fed through a sheet fed scanner. All incoming mail shall be opened, inspected and/or read to determine if contraband is enclosed or any violation of prison rules has occurred. If any is found, mail will be destroyed and not returned.

Pictures are the only enclosures permitted to be mailed to inmates. Each inmate is allowed up to 10 photographs per package, but they must be printed on photo paper. Printouts from the internet, colored pages, and provocative material are not permitted and will be destroyed.
