How to Send Mail to Lee County Jail: The Complete Guide to NCIC Rules
Sending mail to someone at Lee County Jail is simple once you know NCIC's scanning rules. Get the address right, stay within the size and page limits, and skip the items that get your letter sent back.
Address your envelope to NCIC-Lee County Jail at PO Box 591, Longview, TX 78606. Include the inmate's full name on the address line and your return address on the outside. Missing either one? Your letter won't make it through.
Stick to standard letter-size paper. NCIC only accepts mail that's 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall - no oversized sheets, no odd-shaped stationery.
There's also a strict page limit: 5 pages max. Anything over gets returned unscanned. If you have more to say, split it into separate letters so each envelope stays within the limit.
NCIC scans the front side only. Write on one side of each page and leave the backs blank - any writing on the back can get your entire mailing returned. A quick "P.S." on the back of page one or writing a second letter there to save paper? That's a fast way to have everything sent back.
No photos: Include any photos and your entire letter comes back. Nothing gets scanned or delivered.
Legal and medical mail can't go to the NCIC PO Box. Send those to the jail's separate address: PO Box 98, Giddings, TX 78942.
