What You Can’t Send to an Inmate at Habersham County Jail — Prohibited Items & Restricted Recipients
Sending mail to someone at Habersham County Jail? The key detail: all personal mail goes through off-site processing first. This changes what gets through—and what doesn't.
Mail for inmates at Habersham County Jail doesn't go directly to the facility. Instead, it's sent to a central processing center where staff open it, scan the contents, and email the digital copy to the inmate. Because of this system - and the jail's own rules - certain items won't make it through, no matter how well-intentioned.
- ✓ Bulk packages
- ✓ Cash
- ✓ Pornographic material
- ✓ More than 10 photographs
- ✓ Correspondence mailed from other detention facilities
Inmates can send and receive mail, but there are limits on who they can correspond with. If the intended recipient falls into a prohibited category, the mail won't be allowed.
- ✓ Victims of the inmate’s crime
- ✓ Co-defendants
- ✓ Current or former jail employees, contract employees, or volunteers
- ✓ Anyone who has an active Order of Protection that prohibits contact
Want to send photos? Keep it to 10 or fewer per envelope. Anything over that limit gets rejected.
Tip: Since mail is opened and scanned at a central processing facility before it’s emailed to the inmate, keep photo mailings simple and easy to scan - plain photos with no extra add-ons tend to go through more smoothly.
Not sure if something will be accepted? Call the Detention Center at (706) 839-0500 before you mail it. They can answer questions about mail rules and visitation policies.
