How to Mail Someone at Jefferson County Jail (address, labeling, and tracking with MailGuard)

Don't send your letter to the jail's street address - it won't reach your recipient. All inmate postal mail goes to an off-site processing center. Use this address exactly as shown, with the inmate's full name and booking/ID number: Smart Communications / Louisville Metro Corrections [Inmate Full Name] #[Booking/ID Number] PO Box 9180 Seminole, FL 33775-9174

Envelope Checklist

  • ✓ Inmate’s full name (clearly printed)
  • ✓ Inmate’s booking/ID number (clearly printed)
  • ✓ Both printed on the outside of the envelope or postcard so it posts to the correct inmate account

Your letter won't arrive as paper mail. Once the post office delivers it, everything gets processed off-site and scanned into the MailGuard system. Postcards, letters, greeting cards - all of it becomes a digital scan. Inmates view their mail on password-protected kiosks or tablets inside the facility.

Heads up: Inmates see scanned copies of your mail on kiosks - not the original paper. This applies to postcards, letters, and greeting cards.

  1. Create your free MailGuard Tracker account - Registration is free.
  2. Use your account to monitor delivery - You can view delivery status for the mail that’s been processed.
  3. Turn on rejected-mail notifications - If something is rejected during processing, you can receive notifications.
  4. Download copies of processed mail - Your account also lets you download copies once your mail is processed.
