Common Rejected

  • βœ“ Polaroid-type photo(s)
  • βœ“ Stickers, glued items, collages, or similar items
  • βœ“ Laminated/plasticized item(s)

Lewis County Jail specifically lists these item types as

Here's a good rule of thumb: anything plasticized, layered, or with adhesives is likely to get turned away. Polaroid-style photos, stickers, glued-on decorations, laminated items - all of these make mail harder to process and inspect. Keep it flat, simple, and paper-only. That's what gets through screening without issues.

Note: Mail containing prohibited items won't be delivered. When in doubt, skip the extras and stick to plain paper.

Want to send something that tends to get rejected - like decorated cards or anything with add-ons? Consider using SmartJailMail, the electronic processing option the jail references. It's a cleaner workaround than risking a rejected envelope.
