Checklist: What Gets Scanned vs. What Must Be Sent to Phoenix or the Facility (for Kasson)
Sending mail to someone at ASPC Florence West, Kasson? Here's the quick breakdown: only certain paper items get scanned through the digital mail system. Everything else, like packages and publications, needs to go somewhere else entirely.
The digital mail system at Kasson only scans a narrow set of items: letters, greeting cards, drawings, and photos. That's it. If what you're sending doesn't fit one of those categories, it won't be scanned. Check where it needs to go before you drop it in the mail.
- ✓ Written correspondence (letters)
- ✓ Greeting cards
- ✓ Drawings
- ✓ Photos
Packages and publications don't go through the scanning process. Don't send them to the Digital Mail Processing Center. Instead, mail them to: Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry, 801 E Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034. Include the inmate's full name, ADCRR number, prison complex, and assigned unit on the address so it gets routed correctly.
Common mix-up: Kasson's local mailing address is PO Box 8200, Florence, AZ 85132, but packages and publications go to the Phoenix address (801 E Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034).
Legal mail follows different rules than personal mail. For Kasson inmates, address legal mail directly to the inmate at their assigned unit. The addressing process stays the same as before.
Legal mail tip: Don't route legal mail through the digital-processing workflow. Send it to the inmate at their assigned unit to avoid delays or misrouting.
Want your original letter, card, photos, or drawings back after scanning? Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) with your mailing. Without one, the originals won't be returned.
Transition Actions
- ✓ Mark December 15, 2025 as the start date for sending incoming non-legal mail (other than parcels, publications, and official government mail) to the Digital Processing Center in Texas.
- ✓ Save proof of postage and any mailing receipts during the transition grace period (December 15, 2025 through January 15, 2026).
- ✓ Plan for strict enforcement after January 15, 2026, improperly sent mail to the prison complex will be returned to sender.
ADCRR set December 15, 2025 as the start date for sending incoming non-legal mail (except parcels, publications, and official government mail) to the Digital Processing Center in Texas. There's a one-month grace period from December 15, 2025 through January 15, 2026. During that window, if you accidentally send these items to the prison complex, they'll still be processed and delivered to the inmate. After January 15, 2026, that grace period ends. Mail sent to the wrong address will be returned to sender. Keep your postage receipts during the transition in case you need to track a piece of mail.
- Keep packages and publications out of the scanning lane. Do not send them to Kasson’s PO Box. Send them to the Phoenix centralized address at 801 E Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034.
- Address parcels with full details. Include the inmate’s full name, ADCRR number, prison complex, and assigned unit.
- Use the scan-eligible categories for personal mail. Letters, greeting cards, drawings, and photos are the items accepted for scanning.
If you remember one thing: Kasson has a local PO Box (PO Box 8200, Florence, AZ 85132), but packages and publications don't go there. They go to Phoenix (801 E Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034).
