"Legal mail" has a specific meaning at Forsyth County Jail. Only mail sent by an attorney of record qualifies. A friend or family member labeling an envelope as legal mail won't cut it.
Legal mail also needs clear labeling. Mark the outside of the envelope "Private Legal Mail" and include the inmate's name and cell location. Missing any of that can slow things down or disqualify it from legal mail handling.
Note: Mail that isn't from an attorney of record, or isn't clearly marked "Private Legal Mail" with the inmate's name and cell location, may not be treated as legal mail.
Keep personal letters completely separate from legal or business-related mail. Any personal correspondence mixed in with legal or business mail will be destroyed. Even a short note tucked into paperwork counts.
- Send personal letters in their own envelope. Do not include personal notes inside legal or business documents.
- Send legal mail separately and label it clearly. Mark the envelope “Private Legal Mail,” and include the inmate’s name and cell location.
- If an attorney is mailing documents, confirm they are the sender. Legal mail is accepted only if it is sent by an attorney of record.
Don't send "bulk mail" to an inmate. Forsyth County Jail won't accept things like printed copies of websites or large batches of scanned documents.
Tip: Need to send a lot of material? Break it into smaller, reasonable mailings. Use the inmate mail address: 925-B Peachtree St, NE - Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309.
