How to Send Mail to an Inmate at Fayette County Jail (Digital Mail & Common Rejection Reasons)
Fayette County Jail uses digital mail for personal correspondence. Address your envelope correctly, and your letter, photos, or drawings will be scanned and delivered electronically to your loved one's tablet.
"Digital mail" means your letter never reaches your loved one as paper. Instead, letters, pictures, and drawings are scanned and delivered to the inmate's tablet through the "Facility Messages" app (part of the free profile). You're mailing a physical envelope, but what they receive is an electronic copy on their screen. The key: make sure what you send qualifies as personal mail - letters, pictures, drawings - and that you address the envelope exactly as the jail requires.
For personal (digital) mail, use this mailing address: Fayette County Prison Inmate’s Name Booking Number # PO Box 247 Phoenix, MD 21131
- ✓ Write the complete facility name (no abbreviations) and state
- ✓ Include the inmate’s full name
- ✓ Include the inmate’s booking number with the “#” symbol (leave off the “#” and it will be rejected)
3
- ✓ Add the sender’s full name
- ✓ Add the sender’s physical address
- ✓ On the recipient side, use the complete facility name (no abbreviations), the inmate’s full name, and the booking number with the “#” symbol
Warning: If the sender’s full name/physical address is missing, or the booking number is missing the “#” symbol, the jail can reject the mail instead of delivering it digitally.
Use the PO Box for personal mail only. Don't include money orders with letters sent to the PO Box - Fayette County Jail will refuse them, and the funds won't be credited to the inmate's account. You also can't bring a money order during a visit or drop one off with the Lieutenant or Shift Commander. The jail doesn't accept cash or personal checks.
- Mail the money order to the jail’s street address - Send it to Fayette County Prison, 254 McClellandtown Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401 (not the PO Box used for digital personal mail).
- Fill in every required detail on the money order - Include the inmate name, the facility address (Fayette County Prison 254 McClellandtown Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401), the sender’s name, the sender’s address, and the sender’s signature so it isn’t returned.
Legal mail works differently. Send all legal correspondence to the jail's physical address: Fayette County Jail, 254 McClellandtown Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401. Include the sending attorney's phone number on the envelope so staff can verify it.
Quick rule of thumb: personal mail (letters, pictures, drawings) goes to the PO Box in Phoenix, Maryland for digital delivery. Legal mail goes to the jail's physical address on McClellandtown Road in Uniontown.

- ✓ Missing “#” after the booking number - Rewrite the address so the booking number includes the “#” symbol.
- ✓ Abbreviating the facility name - Use the complete facility name (no abbreviations) and state.
- ✓ Missing sender details - Add your full name and physical address as the sender before you mail it.
Don’t send money to the PO Box: Money orders sent with personal mail to the PO Box will be refused, and the funds won’t be credited. Money orders must be mailed to 254 McClellandtown Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401 and include all required sender/inmate details.
Sent a money order to the PO Box by mistake? Resend it to the correct address so it can be credited. Mail the money order to Fayette County Prison, 254 McClellandtown Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401. Include the inmate's name, the facility address (Fayette County Prison 254 McClellandtown Rd., Uniontown, PA 15401), your name, your address, and your signature - missing any of these details can get it returned to you.
