Where to Mail Letters to Someone at Dayton Correctional (use the OMPC address)
If you're sending a personal letter or card to someone at Dayton Correctional, don't mail it to the prison itself. It needs to go to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) Mail Processing Center (OMPC) in Youngstown.
Every personal letter and card for someone incarcerated at Dayton Correctional goes through the ODRC Mail Processing Center (OMPC) in Youngstown. Here's the address to put on your envelope: Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Mail Processing Center (OMPC) 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road Youngstown, Ohio 44505
Reminder: Put the incarcerated person’s name and ODRC number on the first line, like “Jane Smith W012345,” so it’s routed correctly.
For questions about mail processing (or if you think something is being delayed), you can contact the OMPC at ODRCMailProcessingCenter@drc.ohio.gov or call 1-330-333-7372.
Even if you're visiting in person, you can't hand-deliver anything to an incarcerated person. Packages, letters, money, printed materials: all of it has to go through approved channels. Staff will not accept these items from visitors.
The same goes for money. Only approved visitors can deposit funds to an incarcerated person's account, and deposits must go through the approved ODRC process.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Update any saved contacts or address books to the OMPC address in Youngstown: 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44505
- ✓ Always include the incarcerated person’s name and ODRC number (example: “Jane Smith W012345”)
- ✓ If you mail to an older Dayton Correctional address, it may be forwarded through OMPC, which can delay delivery
