What You Can't Send: Callaway County Jail's Mail Restrictions
Want your mail to actually reach someone at Callaway County Jail? Know what they won't accept before you send anything.
Callaway County Jail doesn't accept packages - period. Send one anyway and it gets refused and returned. That's wasted time and postage when you're just trying to help someone inside.
Warning: Packages sent to Callaway County Jail will be refused and returned to the sender.
Special-occasion mail is one of the most common things people try to send - and one of the most likely to get turned away. The jail won't accept holiday or birthday cards. Magazines, books, and newspaper subscriptions are also off-limits. None of these will make it through mail processing.

Callaway County Jail is a postcard-only facility, and they don't accept money through the mail either. Send cash, a check, or a money order and it gets returned - not deposited to the inmate's trust fund. To add funds, use the Lobby Kiosk, accesscorrections.com, or ncic.com instead.
Tip: Skip mailing money - use the Lobby Kiosk, accesscorrections.com, or ncic.com to deposit funds.
