Sending Photos to El Paso County Jail: Size Limits, Content Rules, and What Gets Rejected

You don't mail photos directly to the jail. All personal correspondence, including pictures, goes to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office third-party mail vendor at P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. On the envelope, include the inmate's full name and their Admit/Booking Number so the mail gets processed correctly.

Every photo must be 4×6 inches or smaller. Anything larger gets rejected, and staff won't trim or resize oversized prints for you.

There's a hard cap of 10 pictures per inmate. Collages are allowed, but each individual image inside a collage counts toward that 10-photo limit. One busy collage page can eat up your entire allotment fast.

For smoother processing, keep your mailing no larger than 8½ × 11 inches. Also avoid anything bound or that opens like a book. The vendor can't process bound materials, and anything like that will be rejected and returned to you.
