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.
- **Send for scanning (to the Texas Digital Processing Center):** written correspondence (letters) - **Send for scanning (to the Texas Digital Processing Center):** greeting cards - **Send for scanning (to the Texas Digital Processing Center):** drawings - **Send for scanning (to the Texas Digital Processing Center):** photos - **Know what happens next:** these items are scanned and uploaded for delivery to the person’s tablet (not delivered as paper mail)
