How to Send Mail to an Inmate at Lee County Jail (NCIC Rules & Exceptions)

Regular inmate postal mail is routed through NCIC. Address your envelope exactly like this: NCIC-Lee County Jail Inmate Name PO Box 591 Longview, TX 78606

Make sure the envelope includes the inmate's full name and your complete return address. NCIC will not process mail that's missing either one.

NCIC only accepts mail that fits within 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall. Anything oversized gets sent back to you instead of being processed.

Keep it to 5 pages or fewer. NCIC won't scan anything over 5 pages. The entire piece of mail gets returned to you if you go over the limit.

NCIC scans the front side of each page only. Don't write on the back, even to save paper. Any mail with writing on the back will be returned to you.

Legal and medical mail is handled differently. It will not be accepted at the NCIC PO Box. Instead, send it directly to the inmate at the Lee County Jail using this address: Lee County Jail PO Box 98 Giddings, TX 78942

Quick rule of thumb: regular personal letters go to the NCIC-Lee County Jail address in Longview, Texas (PO Box 591). Legal or medical mail goes to the Lee County Jail address in Giddings, Texas (PO Box 98). Sending to the wrong address means your mail gets rejected.

Common Return Reasons Checklist

• ✓ Sending more than 5 pages
• ✓ Writing on the back of any page (front side is the only side scanned)
• ✓ Including any photos
• ✓ Mailing items larger than 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall

Before you seal the envelope, double-check the inmate's name and make sure your return address is on the outside. Then confirm you're sending to the right destination: the NCIC PO Box for regular mail, or the Giddings address for legal and medical correspondence.
