How to Send Money to Facility

Trying to send money to someone at Hampton Roads Regional Jail? Don't mail checks or money orders to P.O. Box 247 in Phoenix, Maryland. That address is only for personal mail (letters, pictures, and drawings) that gets digitally delivered. For personal mail to reach the right person, your envelope needs the complete facility name and state (spelled out, no abbreviations), the incarcerated person's full name and identifier, and your full name and physical return address. The jail handles money deposits through a separate process that isn't detailed in the available information. You'll need to verify the correct method directly with the facility before sending any funds.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Address personal mail (for digital delivery) to: Hampton Roads Regional Jail, VA; Inmate Full Name; Inmate Identifier; P.O. Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131
• ✓ Include your full name and physical return address on the outside of the envelope
• ✓ Only send personal mail to this address (letters, pictures, and drawings)

The jail handles checks, money orders, and attorney-client privileged mail separately from personal mail. None of these should go to the Phoenix, MD P.O. Box used for digital delivery. Since the approved deposit methods aren't included in the available information, contact the facility directly to confirm the correct process. This helps you avoid delays, rejected mail, or returned payments.

1. Confirm the inmate identifier format - Make sure you have the exact identifier the jail expects you to use with the person’s full name.
2. Confirm the correct address format for personal mail - Verify you are using the complete facility name and state (no abbreviations) and that P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131 is still the right destination for digitally delivered personal mail.
3. Ask how the jail accepts money - Get the jail’s current instructions for sending funds (including whether they accept checks or money orders, and where those must be sent).
4. Ask about attorney-client privileged mail procedures - Have the jail explain how legal mail must be addressed and submitted so it is handled under the correct, separate guidelines.
