The Right Way to Mail Letters to Brevard County Jail Inmates
Mail for Brevard County Jail inmates goes through Smart Communications, not the jail itself. Getting the address format right—and avoiding a few common mistakes—means the difference between delivery and a returned envelope.
All regular inmate mail goes to Smart Communications, not directly to the jail. Send your letter to Smart Communications / Brevard County at PO Box 9145, Seminole, FL 33775-9145. This routes it into the jail's mail system and gets it to the right person.
Address format (example): Inmate First Name Inmate Last Name + Inmate ID # Smart Communications / Brevard County PO Box 9145 Seminole, FL 33775-9145
Write the inmate's full name and inmate ID number clearly on the envelope or postcard. That ID is how mail gets matched to the correct account. Without it, your mail comes back.
- ✓ Inmate’s full name (first and last)
- ✓ Inmate ID number
- ✓ Smart Communications / Brevard County, PO Box 9145, Seminole, FL 33775-9145
Mail at Brevard County Jail gets scanned into an electronic system. The physical originals aren't returned - they're destroyed. If you send original documents or irreplaceable photos, expect them to be gone. Only mail copies of anything you can't afford to lose.
Do not mail originals: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, Social Security cards, and irreplaceable pictures should be copied first and only the copies mailed.
Postcards, letters, and greeting cards are scanned so the inmate can view them electronically. After scanning, the physical items are destroyed - originals are gone within 30 days. Keep your own copy of anything you want a record of before you mail it.
Prohibited Content
- ✓ Photos depicting gang symbols/signs (applies to incoming and outgoing mail)
- ✓ Photos with nudity
- ✓ Photos showing lewd behavior
If contraband is found in an inmate's mail, it gets seized. The jail notifies both the inmate and the sender about what was taken and why, so you won't be left wondering what happened.
Tip: If a photo could be interpreted as nudity, lewd behavior, or a gang sign/symbol, leave it out - borderline items are the ones most likely to get rejected or seized.
