Getting an Inmate's Property Released and When Alexandria Will Accept Personal Items

Getting property released from the Alexandria Detention Center starts with the inmate—not you. They need to contact the facility's Property Deputy and authorize who can receive their belongings. This authorization must be in writing. Until that written permission is on file, the property won't be released for pickup or mailed out.
