How Greenville County's Digital Mail System Works (And What Still Goes Directly to the Jail)
At Greenville County Detention Center, most personal mail doesn't go straight to the jail. It's sent to an off-site digital mail center, scanned, and delivered to inmates on kiosks in their housing units. A few types of mail still need to go directly to the Detention Center.
Greenville County Detention Center routes personal inmate mail through the Securus Digital Mail Center. Your letter gets sent off-site, scanned into an electronic system, and then appears on kiosks inside the housing unit for the inmate to read.
Note: All mail is searched for contraband. That screening is part of why the facility uses controlled processing, including off-site scanning for personal mail.
For your mail to be scanned and delivered digitally, address it exactly like this: INMATE NAME-ID NUMBER C/O Securus Digital Mail Center-Greenville PO Box 21665 Tampa, FL 33622.
Photos: Photographs are not accepted through postal mail, so don’t include photos in anything you send through the off-site scanning process.
Some mail still goes directly to Greenville County Detention Center - not the Securus scanning address. Send verified legal mail, money orders and bank statements mailed directly from a financial institution, and publications (books, newspapers, magazines) to the Detention Center at 20 McGee Street, Greenville, SC 29601.
Legal mail gets special handling: staff open it in front of the inmate and search it for contraband before handing it over. That's why it bypasses the off-site scanning system.
