How to send messages, photos, and packages
Sending mail to someone at Grimes County Jail is straightforward once you know the rules. All correspondence must go through postal mail—staff won't accept letters you drop off in person. Your envelope needs the inmate's name and the jail address. Include your return address and the inmate ID number (if you have it) to help avoid delays. Books, magazines, and newspapers are allowed, but they must ship directly from the publisher or an approved online retailer. Books must be softcover/paperback. Medications require prior approval from the Jail Nurse, so contact the nurse to arrange approval before sending anything. Legal mail and publications may be handled differently, so check the specific instructions before sending specialized items.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
