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. Inmates may receive new soft cover books shipped directly from the publisher or a nationally recognized distributor. Books that include images depicting nudity or illegal activities; contain commentary/stories that promote violence, hate speech, bigotry, illegal activity, uprisings or threats to institutional authority or contain material that could compromise the safety and security of the facility and its occupants are prohibited.
