How to Send Mail to an Inmate at Gallia County Jail (what to include and where to send it)
Sending a letter to someone at Gallia County Jail is straightforward—just use the jail's required name-and-ID format and mail it to the correct address.
Gallia County Jail requires that all inmate mail include the inmate's full name and ID number on the envelope. Once you have both, send your letter to the jail's address in Gallipolis, Ohio.
Before addressing your envelope, look up the person using the Gallia County inmate search (the jail links to the current list at jdsinc.net/ohgallia). This confirms the exact name on file and gives you the inmate ID number you'll need.
Tip: Double-check spelling and the inmate ID before you mail anything. A wrong name or missing/incorrect ID can slow down delivery.
On the envelope, write the inmate's full name and ID number so staff can match it to the right person. It's also smart to include the ID at the top of your letter - that way the identifying info stays with your correspondence even if the envelope gets separated.
Reminder: Gallia County Jail’s posted instruction for mail is simple: use the inmate’s name and include the inmate ID number.
