Butler County Jail, KY

Print the inmate's full name and booking or ID number on every envelope or postcard, and include your complete return address so mail can be delivered or returned if needed. All incoming mail is screened, opened, or scanned for contraband. Legal mail is handled separately and opened only in the inmate's presence. Keep things simple: use plain paper or postcards and skip staples, glue, stickers, or attachments that could trigger a rejection. Seal envelopes yourself and mail them through the postal system—don't hand them off to someone else to send. For Team Kentucky donations, make checks payable to the Kentucky State Treasurer and follow any program-specific instructions.

The state highlights donations to the Team Kentucky Emergency Relief Fund as one way to give. These donations are tax-deductible, and you'll receive a receipt for your records. To donate by mail, make your check payable to the Kentucky State Treasurer and write "Team Kentucky Emergency Relief Fund" in the memo line. Send it to: Public Protection Cabinet, 500 Mero Street, 218 NC, Frankfort, KY 40601. The minimum donation is $1, and no administrative fees are applied to the fund—though credit card processing and treasury fees may still apply. You'll need to provide personal information, and while the site takes commercially acceptable steps to protect it, no online transmission or storage is 100% secure. For adding money directly to an inmate's commissary, phone, or care package account, check the facility's guidance or vendor portals since methods vary by location.
