Send Photos & Mail at Chippewa Valley Corrections, WI

How to send messages, photos, and packages

Overview

Chippewa Valley Corrections routes non-privileged personal mail through TextBehind. Send letters to TextBehind at P.O. Box 189, Phoenix, MD 21131. Every envelope needs your return name and address plus the inmate's full name and DOC number. TextBehind scans or photocopies personal mail and delivers it digitally; originals are shredded by a certified third party 30 days after scanning. Legal and identifiable medical mail gets different treatment—TextBehind won't open or photocopy these items. Instead, they're forwarded to the institution for handling under legal/medical mail procedures. For outgoing non-privileged mail, people in DOC care must use P.O. Box 189, Phoenix, MD 21131 as their return address. Legal and IRS mail still uses institution addresses.
