How to Mail a Letter or Package to Someone at Herlong FCI

Sending mail to someone at Herlong FCI? Start with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Contact Directory. It's the official source for facility contact information, including addresses for inmate mail and parcels. The directory also lists each facility's physical address, phone number, and fax number - handy for double-checking before you send anything.

Here's the thing: the "right" address isn't always obvious. If the person you're writing to is housed at a camp associated with the facility, the directory may list a separate camp mail/parcels address. Using the directory helps you avoid sending mail to the wrong location - and getting it delayed or returned.

1. Open the BOP Contact Directory - this is where the BOP lists contact information for individual facilities, including Herlong FCI.
2. Find the Herlong FCI listing - use the directory’s search for “Herlong,” or browse by state until you reach the facility.
3. Look for the “Inmate Mail/Parcels” section - that’s the entry meant to give you the correct address format for inmate mail and parcels.

Before copying an address, check whether your person is at the main facility or at the camp (if a camp address is listed). The directory may include a separate "Inmate Mail/Parcels – Camp" address. Use the one that matches where they're actually housed.

• ✓ Confirm whether the person is housed at the main facility or the camp.
• ✓ In the directory, find the matching “Inmate Mail/Parcels” entry (main) or “Inmate Mail/Parcels – Camp” entry.
• ✓ Copy the address exactly as it appears for the correct location.

The directory may list more than one type of address, depending on what you're sending. You'll see "Inmate Mail/Parcels" addresses and "Shipping/Freight" addresses. Sending something via carrier delivery? Use the Shipping/Freight entry. For regular inmate mail, use the Inmate Mail/Parcels entry.

Found the right entry? Copy it exactly as written, then double-check before sealing the envelope or shipping the box. The BOP directory also has the facility's phone and fax numbers if you want to confirm details before sending.

• ✓ Keep your receipt and any tracking number.
• ✓ Write down the date you sent it.
• ✓ Save the exact directory entry you used (so you can repeat it next time if it works).

Not sure whether to use a camp address, or which address type fits what you're sending? Use the directory to find Herlong FCI's phone or fax number and ask. The directory also lists staff mail addresses separately, so you can sort out whether something should go to the inmate or to facility staff.

1. Find the facility contact info in the directory - look for the phone and fax numbers listed for Herlong FCI.
2. Call or fax your question - ask which address you should use for your situation.
3. Confirm the exact directory entry to copy - verify whether you should use “Inmate Mail/Parcels,” “Inmate Mail/Parcels – Camp,” or “Shipping/Freight.”
