How to Mail a Letter to Someone at El Paso County Jail (Send to the Arkansas Vendor Address)
To send a letter (or photos) to someone at El Paso County Jail, mail it to the Sheriff's Office third-party scanning vendor in Arkansas—not directly to the jail.
All personal mail for someone at El Paso County Jail - including photos - goes to this address: El Paso County Sheriff's Office Inmate Full Name and Admit/Booking Number P.O. Box 16120 Jonesboro, AR 72401 The vendor opens and scans your letter into a digital document, then sends it to the facility for review and delivery.
Don’t skip the ID line: The inmate’s full name and Admit/Booking Number need to be on the mailing address so it can be matched to the right person.
Envelope Format
- ✓ Inmate’s full booking name (full name, written clearly)
- ✓ Inmate’s Admit/Booking Number (use this number on the address)
- ✓ Your full return address, written legibly, including your first and last name
Use the full booking name only: Don’t use nicknames, abbreviations, or initials - and if the writing is hard to read, the mail can be returned to you.
Stick to standard paper size - 8½ by 11 inches or smaller - for the smoothest processing.
No bound items: The vendor can't process anything that opens like a book. Bound materials get rejected and returned.
Never send money to the Arkansas P.O. Box. Funds mailed to this address won't be processed.
Don't mix funds with letters: If you include money in the same envelope as your correspondence, nothing gets processed. Bound or book-like items will also trigger rejection.
Tips Common Mistakes
- ✓ Write clearly (especially the name, number, and addresses); illegible writing can be returned
- ✓ Use the inmate’s full booking name (not a nickname, abbreviation, initials, or shortened version)
- ✓ Use the Admit/Booking Number on the address (not a DOC number)
- ✓ Put your full return address on the envelope, including your first and last name
Since mail gets scanned at the vendor's facility before reaching El Paso County, small mistakes can stop delivery in its tracks. If the writing is hard to read, your letter comes right back. Print neatly and double-check the inmate's full booking name and Admit/Booking Number before you mail it.
