How to send messages, photos, and packages
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.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
