How to Contact an Inmate at Community Corr. Center - Lincoln, NE (NE)

Mail at Community Corr. Center - Lincoln, NE goes through a scanning process. Your letter and everything included with it gets scanned into a single PDF, which is then delivered to the incarcerated person on a tablet. Here's the catch: if any part of what you send violates NDCS policy or the vendor's policy, the entire PDF is rejected. Not just the offending page or item, but everything.

Once your correspondence clears approval, delivery is fast. Approved scanned mail typically reaches the person's tablet within 24 hours. If they don't have an assigned tablet, facility staff will normally photocopy the approved correspondence and deliver that paper copy within 24 hours of approval.

Steps-to-follow

• ✓ Write and package your correspondence with the expectation that everything will be scanned into one PDF for tablet delivery, and anything that violates NDCS or vendor policy can cause the whole PDF to be rejected.
• ✓ Send your correspondence using the facility’s current submission method (confirm the correct address, format, and any special requirements directly with the facility before you mail anything).
• ✓ Plan for timing based on approval: approved scanned mail is normally delivered within 24 hours of approval, and if the person does not have an assigned tablet, a photocopy is normally delivered within 24 hours of approval.

Before you send anything, confirm the current scanning rules. That means checking what content or enclosures are prohibited, how mail is reviewed and approved, and the exact submission method the facility expects. It's also worth asking whether the person has an assigned tablet. If they do, approved correspondence goes straight to it. If not, staff will normally photocopy it and deliver the paper copy within 24 hours of approval.
