How Greenville County’s Securus Digital Mail Works — and What Still Goes Directly to the Jail

Greenville County Detention Center routes most personal mail through Securus for scanning, but a few categories still need to go straight to the jail. Here's how to send the right thing to the right place the first time.

Personal mail at Greenville County Detention Center doesn't go directly to inmates. Instead, it's routed to the Securus Digital Mail Center, an off-site facility where letters are scanned into an electronic system. Once processed, the mail shows up for the addressed inmate on kiosks inside their housing unit.

Note: All mail is searched for contraband as part of the Detention Center's processing.

Addressing

Warning: No photographs will be accepted through the postal mail.

  • Verified legal mail (send directly to the Detention Center, not to Securus)
  • Money orders from financial institutions (send directly to the Detention Center)
