Overview
Manzanita Unit uses ADCRR's digital mail system. Original postal mail gets scanned and delivered to the inmate's secured electronic tablet or kiosk—no routine physical delivery for accepted items. Starting December 15, 2025, send personal letters, greeting cards, and photos to the Digital Mail Processing Center at PO Box 211309, Dallas, TX 75211. Legal mail, parcels, publications, and official government mail skip the Texas processing step. Packages and publications go to a separate central intake at 801 E Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034 beginning January 7, 2026. Only written correspondence, greeting cards, drawings, and photos are accepted for scanning. Originals are held 90 days before disposal—include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want them returned. Outbound mail works the same as before, and digital mail support is available 24/7.
