Sending Books, Magazines, and Newspapers to Guadalupe County Jail: How to Do It Right
Books sent to the Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center must come directly from the publisher. Even brand-new books you buy and mail yourself won't be accepted - they have to ship straight from the source.
Magazines follow the same rule. Order through the publisher's subscription or fulfillment service so the package clearly ships from them, not from you.
Mailing address reminder: Books and magazines must come directly from the publisher, and privileged mail is addressed to Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center, 2615 N Guadalupe St, Seguin, TX 78155.
Newspapers must arrive through a paid subscription sent directly to the jail. Picking up a copy yourself and mailing it in won't work - only subscription deliveries qualify.
Time-sensitive: Newspapers more than seven (7) days old are disposed of and won’t be placed into an inmate’s property.
Practical Steps Before Ordering
- ✓ Confirm the publisher will ship directly to the Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center (not to you first).
- ✓ For magazines, make sure the subscription is fulfilled and mailed by the publisher.
- ✓ For newspapers, set up a subscription that delivers directly to the jail (not individual issues you forward).
Before placing an order, confirm the seller can ship directly to the jail and that you've entered the correct address. For privileged mail, use: Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center, 2615 N Guadalupe St, Seguin, TX 78155.
