How to Send Money to Dupage County Jail, IL (IL)
The most important thing to know about sending money to someone at DuPage County Jail: checks and money orders do not go through the new mail scanning address.
DuPage County Jail switched to a digital mail system for personal correspondence (letters, pictures, drawings). All personal mail now goes to a separate address where it's scanned and delivered electronically to inmates. Money works differently. The jail specifically states that checks and money orders are not part of this scanning process. If you send financial items to the scanning address, they could be delayed or rejected. Follow the jail's separate instructions for sending funds.
Key date: The switch to digital delivery for inmate personal mail took effect May 15, 2023.
Steps to Follow

- ✓ Do not mail checks or money orders to the Phoenix, MD P.O. Box. Use the jail’s separate guidelines for checks and money orders.
Before sending any money order or check, confirm the correct method and destination directly with the jail. The facility's notice only specifies what not to do: do not send checks or money orders to the Phoenix, MD scanning address used for personal mail.
