How to Mail a Letter to Someone at Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC)

Sending a regular letter to someone at Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC)? Don't address it directly to the prison. The Iowa Department of Corrections routes all incoming non-legal mail through an offsite processor run by Pigeonly - a measure to reduce contraband. Your envelope needs to go to the Pigeonly processing address with the right identifying details so it can be scanned and forwarded to IMCC.

Use the Pigeonly central mailing address and include four key pieces of information: the incarcerated person's name, their offender ID number, the facility name, and the facility code. For IMCC, the facility code is 1108 - this routes the scanned mail to the correct Iowa DOC facility. Address your envelope like this: Incarcerated Individual Name – Offender ID Number Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC) – 1108 PO Box 96777 Las Vegas, NV 89193

1. Mail your non-legal letter to the Pigeonly PO Box - your envelope goes to the central processing address, not directly to IMCC.
2. Pigeonly opens the mail - all incoming non-legal mail is opened as part of the processing.
3. Your letter is scanned into a digital color copy - the contents are converted into a color digital file.
4. A printed copy is delivered to IMCC - the digital copy is printed and sent on to the appropriate Iowa DOC facility.
5. The original is not returned - originals are temporarily stored and then securely destroyed under Iowa DOC policy.

Pitfalls Tips

• ✓ Put the incarcerated person’s full name and offender ID number on the address.
• ✓ Write the facility name and the facility code together: Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC) – 1108.
• ✓ Use the central Pigeonly address: PO Box 96777, Las Vegas, NV 89193.
• ✓ Don’t send non-legal mail directly to IMCC - if you do, it will be returned to you.

Want to send photos? You can mail them through the same Pigeonly address. Pigeonly also offers paid options for cards, photos, and messaging - useful if you're sending more than a standard letter.
