MAIL


One of the most important ways you can communicate with an offender is
through written correspondence. Encourage your family and friends to write!

Even if you are coming to visit soon and have talked on the phone recently, a letter is really appreciated, especially since your contact with an incarcerated loved one is restricted.

If you have a few free minutes, send a quick note or card!

HOW SHOULD MAIL BE ADDRESSED?


To ensure delivery of your correspondence, we ask that you address envelopes as follows, and also complete your return address on the envelope.


Offender’s Name and Register Number
Name of Institution (Housing Unit if known)
Post Office Box Number or Street Address
City, State and Zip Code

IS MAIL INSPECTED?

Yes, all incoming and outgoing mail is subject to search. Mail received is briefly examined for unauthorized articles or substances and scanned to ensure it does not contain anything which may compromise the safety and security of the facility.

WHAT CAN BE SENT WITH LETTERS?

Up to five 8 ½ x 11 enclosures or news clippings may be included with each letter. Only film-processed photographs or digital copies are permitted.

Any enclosures, including photographs, may not contain depictions of gang activity, pornography, nudity, be sexually explicit or contain other inappropriate content.

Stamps and stamped envelopes cannot be included in mail sent to an offender.

CAN MAGAZINES OR NEWSPAPERS
BE PURCHASED FOR AN OFFENDER?

After an offender leaves the diagnostic center and is permanently assigned to a facility, you may make gift subscription purchases of magazines and newspapers for an offender. Prior to doing so, however, you should verify the magazine or paper is allowed and you have the complete and accurate mailing address which includes the offenders name, number and housing unit.

You may also deposit funds to an offender’s account and they may then, in turn, subscribe to a periodical of choice.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU RECEIVE UNWANTED
CORRESPONDENCE?

If you received unwelcome mail or threatening letters from an offender, notify the institution in writing that you wish the correspondence to cease.

You should also provide a copy of the correspondence received. The offender will be directed to stop writing you.

If it continues, the offender will be referred for possible disciplinary action.
