Mail, Photos, and Property Rules at Crittenden County Jail (what will be accepted—and what won't)
Sending mail or photos to someone at Crittenden County Jail? It's doable, but the jail has strict rules about addressing and content. Follow the guidelines below to keep your mail from getting returned.
Address mail to your loved one by name and send it to: Inmate's Name, 208 W Carlisle St, Marion, KY 42064. That exact format helps your letter get routed correctly - skip it and you risk delays or returns.
Crittenden County Jail doesn't accept unapproved inmate-to-inmate mail. That includes "forwarding" mail for someone who's incarcerated. If friends or family send mail on another inmate's behalf, the jail will return it.
Photo Rules
- ✓ Keep photos 4x6 or smaller.
- ✓ Print photos on photo paper only.
- ✓ Don’t send photos printed on copy paper; they will be returned to the sender or placed in the inmate’s property.
Warning: Any pictures that show revealing clothing or nudity can cause the entire package of photos to be returned to the sender.
Inmates can receive up to 15 photos per month. Send more than that, and the extras come back to you. Don't try to work around the limit by routing photos through other inmates - if you do, your loved one could lose all the photos in their cell for six months.
Due to COVID-19, the jail doesn't allow property to be mailed in or dropped off. Items like sweats, undergarments, and socks have to be ordered through commissary using the kiosk in the inmate's cell. Those orders ship directly from the commissary supplier.
Newspaper subscriptions are allowed as long as they’re sent from the newspaper office and addressed in the inmate’s name. Magazine subscriptions are not accepted.
