How to Send Books & Magazines to Bedford County Jail Using TextBehind
Bedford County requires all books and magazines to go through TextBehind—a managed service that reviews and delivers reading material to inmates. Follow the steps below to avoid the most common reasons publications get rejected or delayed.
To send books or magazines to someone at Bedford County, you'll need to go through TextBehind's publications process. The facility uses this system to screen incoming reading material rather than accepting random packages from outside sources. Start by submitting a publications order request on the TextBehind website.
Note: TextBehind reviews each request against Bedford County Correctional Facility publication policies before it moves forward.
- Go to the TextBehind website - Bedford County’s publications process starts there.
- Submit a publications order request - enter the details for the book or magazine you want to send for the Bedford County inmate.
Once you submit your request, TextBehind checks it against Bedford County Correctional Facility publication policies. If everything looks good, they'll send you an approval notification with a price quote. Review that quote before deciding whether to proceed.
- ✓ Watch for the approval notification and price quote from TextBehind
- ✓ Accept the quote if you want to proceed
- ✓ Submit payment to confirm the order
After approval and payment, TextBehind handles the rest. They source the book or magazine from a vetted publisher and ship it directly to Bedford County Correctional Facility - no need for you to buy it yourself or mail it from a store.
When the package arrives at Bedford County, correctional staff inspect it before delivery. Once it clears inspection, they hand it off to the recipient.
Tip: Because the facility inspects incoming publication packages before delivery, build in extra time and place orders early when you can.

TextBehind reviews requests, sources approved publications, and ships them to Bedford County Correctional Facility. What you won't find is a complete list of approved or banned titles - facilities rarely publish that. If you're unsure whether a specific book or magazine will pass, ask TextBehind before paying.
