Below is an EXAMPLE of how to address a letter to a prisoner. You must use the address of the facility where the prisoner is located as well as the offender's name and MDOC number. If you do not know the offender's MDOC number and/or address, try searching the OTIS database.
Do not use the address below unless the offender is actually located at the Southern Michigan Correctional Facility.

How do I send property?
For the most part, approved property must be purchased by prisoners through the prisoner store or ordered from approved vendors. Members of the general public may purchase allowable books, magazines and other publications, provided the publications are new, not used, and they are sent directly to the prisoner from an approved Internet vendor.
NOTE: Some approved Internet vendors, such as Amazon.com, allow private individuals and other vendors to directly sell publications on their websites. That individual or vendor, not the approved Internet vendor, then mails out the publication. In such cases, prisoners are allowed to receive the publication only if the vendor actually selling and mailing the publication is identified as an approved Internet vendor. Prisoners are not allowed to receive the publication if sold and/or mailed by a private individual.
The approved Internet vendors are:
Amazon.com BarnesAndNoble.com Borders.com EdwardRHamilton.com prisonlegalnews.org SchulerBooks.com Waldenbooks.com Walmart.com
