How to Send Personal Mail to Someone at Lea County Correctional Facility (Securus Digital Mail Center)
When your loved one's facility routes personal mail through the Securus Digital Mail Center, getting the address format exactly right is what keeps your letter from getting delayed or bounced back.
Personal mail only gets accepted when it's addressed to the Securus Digital Mail Center with the incarcerated person's full name and inmate ID number. You also need your return name and address on the envelope. Miss any of these details, and your mail will likely come back to you - or sit in limbo while staff try to figure out who it belongs to. This rule feels nitpicky until your letter gets stuck. Taking an extra minute to format everything correctly is the fastest way to make sure your message actually gets through.
Effective date: The Securus Digital Mail Center addressing requirement is listed as effective July 15, 2020.
Address all personal mail to the Securus Digital Mail Center using the incarcerated person's full name and inmate ID number. Here's the format: Inmate name and Inmate ID# Monroe County, PA Jail C/O Securus Digital Mail Center PO Box 21368 Tampa, FL 33622 Don't forget to include your return name and complete return address on the envelope. Without it, there's no way to send the mail back to you if something goes wrong.

Send inmate mail through the United States Postal Service (USPS) or a delivery company. Either works - just make sure the address is correct and your return address is included so the mail can be processed or returned if needed.

Sending a money order? Don't include a letter or any other correspondence in the same envelope. Money orders go by themselves. Write the inmate's name clearly on the money order itself. If staff can't read the name, the money order may be rejected because they can't match it to the right person.
Warning: Don’t enclose letters with a money order, and write the inmate’s name clearly on the money order.
Books, magazines, and other publications must come directly from the publisher, distributor, or a similar source. These items use a different address than personal mail going to the Securus PO Box.

- ✓ Order publications so they ship directly from the publisher/distributor
- ✓ Address publications to: Inmate Name + Inmate ID# at 4250 Manor Drive, Stroudsburg, PA 18360
