To prepare an ordinary personal letter, follow Prison Handbook’s instructions: print the recipient’s full name, inmate ID and jail address on the letter, and send it through the U.S. Postal Service rather than another delivery method. Its mailing address is Bingham County Jail, 501 N Maple #405, Blackfoot, ID 83221. Those instructions prohibit packages, padded envelopes, plastic bags and envelopes containing metal. Staff open, read and examine ordinary personal correspondence and return mail deemed inappropriate. Prison Handbook recommends reviewing the official jail site before mailing because the mail policy changes. You can use the Bingham County Sheriff Departments page as the official contact route.

You receive calls from Bingham County Jail rather than calling the person in custody directly. The facility must approve the contacts they supply during booking. Jail Exchange identifies GettingOut as the jail’s phone service. For prepaid communication, Jail Exchange describes two choices. The INMATE ACCOUNT lets the person in custody spend the balance on calls to approved numbers or other available communication services. The FRIENDS & FAMILY ACCOUNT gives you control over communication spending and the number they can call. Neither is a commissary deposit. You can also accept collect calls if your landline service supports them, with charges appearing on your next phone bill. Carrier fees or restrictions may apply, and mobile phones usually do not accept collect calls. Quick Connect instead bills an incoming call immediately to a debit or credit card on file; follow the automated instructions when the call arrives. If you have trouble receiving collect calls, contact your own phone-service provider.

If you want to send commissary money to someone at Bingham County Jail, contact Inmate Information at (208) 782-3057 or Detention Command at (208) 782-3076 and ask for the funding destination and deposit instructions. Keep the purpose of the account clear when you ask. An independent listing describes GettingOut’s Inmate Account and Friends & Family Account as ways to pay for calls and other communication services.
