How to Contact an Inmate at Facility
Before you send anything through the U.S. Postal Service, here's how this facility handles regular (non-privileged) mail. Non-privileged general mail is processed off-site, then delivered to the inmate electronically on password-protected kiosks or tablets. Your letter or card won't be handed over as a physical piece of mail. Instead, it shows up as a digital delivery on their device.
MailGuard®: You can sign up for a free MailGuard® account to view delivery status, receive rejected-mail notifications, and download copies of processed mail.
Getting the address right matters, especially since mail is routed to an off-site processing center. For non-privileged mail, use this exact format: Inmate's Name – Inmate's CFN C/O Smart Communications Johnson County Sheriff's Office P.O. Box 9176 Seminole, Florida 33775-9176
Questions or appeals: Call 913-715-5900 for questions about mail procedures. If your mail is returned and you want to appeal, email DetentionMailroomAppeals@jocogov.org. Contact details can change, so confirm if you run into trouble.

Sending something time-sensitive?

If you're unsure about anything, check the facility's official information or call 913-715-5900. Keep DetentionMailroomAppeals@jocogov.org handy in case you need to appeal returned mail.
