How to send messages, photos, and packages
Jones County Adult Detention Center's specific mail rules weren't available in the sources reviewed, so follow these common jail-mail practices to reduce delays. All incoming mail gets screened for contraband and security risks. Staff may censor, return, or hold items that break rules. On every envelope, write the inmate's full name plus their ID or housing information, and include your full return address. Keep letters plain: blue or black ink is safest. Avoid markers, colored paper, stickers, glitter, or decorative inserts. Photo and publication policies vary widely—many jails require photos to show fully clothed subjects, and books or magazines often must come directly from the publisher or an approved vendor. Confirm Jones County's exact limits before sending anything.
