What You Can and Can't Mail to Someone at Berrien County Jail

For regular incoming mail at Berrien County Jail, you’re limited to a standard-size postcard. The maximum allowed size is 6" x 4 1/4" - anything larger than that won’t meet the jail’s postcard requirement.

Size matters on the small end too. Postcards must be at least 5" x 3 1/2" to be accepted. Skip the mini postcards or cut-down cards - they won't make it through.
