For questions about contacting an incarcerated person, call the main facility number: (440) 599-4100. This is your best starting point for details that change often, like current mail procedures, phone call rules, and visitation policies.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Call Lake Erie Correctional Institution at (440) 599-4100 to confirm the current rules for contacting an inmate (mail, phone calls, and any visiting procedures).
• ✓ Write down the facility address for reference: 501 Thompson Road, Conneaut, OH 44030-8668.
• ✓ Before you mail anything, ask staff to confirm the correct way the inmate’s name and identifying information should appear on the envelope, and whether there are limits on what can be sent.

Contact policies can change, and the details matter. Call (440) 599-4100 and ask about current mail requirements (what's allowed, what gets rejected, how to address envelopes), plus any instructions for phone contact and visitation scheduling. Have a deadline? A court date, time-sensitive paperwork, or return address issue? Mention that up front so staff can point you to the quickest compliant option.

Use the facility’s physical location, 501 Thompson Road, Conneaut, OH 44030-8668, as your anchor, but still confirm the exact mailing address format before sending letters or documents. If you have already tried working through the facility and you believe the issue needs to be elevated, corporate-level contact information is available for CoreCivic’s President and CEO, Damon Hininger (damon.hininger@corecivic.com, (615) 263-6915). For most communication problems, though, the facility line is the practical place to start.
