All non-legal and non-commercial mail must be mailed to the following address:

All non-legal and non-commercial mail sent to the address given will be processed by the mail scanning vendor and delivered to the inmate electronically via kiosks or tablets.  The original mail item will be destroyed.

The Inmate Name and ID Number must be clearly printed on the outside of the envelope or postcard.  Failure to include this information could result in lost or misdirected mail. *To find the inmate ID number, use our Inmate Inquiry.  The Subject Number is the Inmate ID.
