Getting Mail to Inmates

You may communicate with an inmate at any time via the U.S. Mail or private delivery service. We receive deliveries Monday through Saturday from the U.S. Postal Service. All incoming mail is opened and searched for contraband. Legal and other privileged mail is opened only in the presence of the inmate addressee. Since a wide array of reading material is readily available via the inmate tablets, inmates will no longer be permitted to receive soft cover books shipped directly from a recognized distributor. Any books that are received after May 16, 2022, will be returned to the sender.
