Sending Mail to an Inmate at Manzanita After Dec 15: How the New ADCRR Digital Mail System Works
Starting December 15, 2025, ADCRR is moving all personal inmate mail to a centralized digital system. Instead of sending letters directly to the prison, you'll mail them to a Digital Mail Processing Center in Texas. There, staff sort, scan, and upload everything so the inmate can view it on a secure tablet. Legal mail, parcels, publications, and official government mail work differently—they're not part of the scanning process.

Use an approved third-party vendor instead: online, by phone, through a mobile app, or at an on-site kiosk. Have the inmate's commissary/PIN or booking number ready along with your payment details. Online and phone deposits usually post quickly. Once received, funds go to the inmate's commissary, telephone, or self-bail account and can only be used for authorized purchases under facility rules.
Contact
Start with the Manzanita Unit contact page. You'll find unit-specific visitation email addresses listed under a header for visitors—this is usually the fastest official route for visitation questions. For phone numbers or a mailing address, check the facility or state Locations page and the unit's Arizona DOC page. State-level pages sometimes list unit visitation emails too, so they're worth checking to confirm the right address. If an online contact page is unavailable or returns an error, call the facility directly. When reaching out about a specific person, have the inmate's full name and facility identification number ready.
