Writing an Inmate

Inmates can receive letters through the US Postal system. All personal mail from family and friends such as letters, pictures, and drawings will be digitally scanned and delivered to inmates via a third party service called IC Solutions. Each envelope must contain the address with the following format described and the return name and address of the sender. Failure to follow the exact format may result in an excessive delay of mail processing by the third party vendor. 

For regular mail (letters, postcards, etc.) write the inmate at the jail using the following format:

Facility Name

Inmate Name, Inmate Name # 

PO Box 247

Phoenix, MD 21131

Example:
You want to write inmate John Doe at the facility. You need to know the inmate number. For this example, we are going to use an imaginary San Juan County Jail Inmate ID Number of 12345. Following the above format:

San Juan County Jail
John Doe, #12345
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131

To send money orders to inmates, mail them directly to the jail:

John Doe, #12345 

Inmate Accounting

P.O. Box 788

Monticello, UT 84535

Please note: DO NOT enclose a letter. If a letter is included with the money order, the letter will be confiscated.

Legal mail: follow the same format as money orders.

Digital Messaging: family and friends can also exchange digital messages with inmates online or through the GettingOut mobile app. Go to www.GettingOut.com
