• 2 min read Verified from official sources

Lexington County Detention Center uses two different mailing addresses. Picking the right one helps your item get processed without delays. Regular inmate mail and photos go to the Smart Communications address in Seminole, Florida. Money orders, legal mail, court documents, bank statements, and pre-approved publications go to the Lexington County Detention Center P.O. Box in Lexington, South Carolina.

Tip: Put the inmate’s name and ID number on every item you send, no matter which address you use.
