How Mail, Book Donations, and Money Orders Work at Greenville County Detention Center
Most personal mail at Greenville County Detention Center goes through an off-site scanning service, but some items still need to go directly to the jail. Here's how to send each type correctly so it actually reaches your loved one.
Personal mail doesn't go directly into the building. Instead, it's sent to an off-site vendor (Securus) where staff scan it into an electronic system. Once processed, inmates can view their mail on kiosks in their housing unit.
Address personal mail exactly like this: INMATE NAME-ID NUMBER C/O Securus Digital Mail Center-Greenville PO Box 21665 Tampa, FL 33622
No photos by mail: Greenville County Detention Center does not accept photographs through the postal mail.
