Personal mail for inmates at Licking County Justice Center goes through Smart Communications, not directly to the jail. Address the envelope using the Smart Communications PO Box, and include the facility name, the inmate's name, and their ID number exactly as shown below: Smart Communications / Licking Co Jus Ctr Inmate Name #InmateID PO Box 9160 Seminole, FL 33775-9137 The inmate name and ID number are what route the mail to the correct person. Print them clearly on the outside of the envelope or postcard.

Every piece of incoming mail must have a full return address: your first and last name, street address or P.O. Box, city, state, and ZIP code. Two lines or three lines doesn't matter, as long as all of those details are included and legible.

Note: Incoming mail without a return address will be returned to the post office.

Mail sent out by an inmate also needs a return address. The same idea applies: the sender's first and last name plus the address details required by the facility.

Sending photos or a card? Keep the size to 5" x 7" or smaller. Licking County Justice Center enforces that limit for both cards and photographs.

Note: Polaroid photos are not permitted.

Note: Nude or partially nude photographs are not permitted.

Do not send packages. Inmates at Licking County Justice Center may not receive packages through the mail.

Tobacco products of any kind are not allowed in inmate mail.

Pornography or suggestive materials are not permitted. Anything that crosses that line will likely be rejected.

Books, magazines, and periodicals cannot be sent to inmates through the mail.

Skip anything with removable parts, batteries, or metal components. Musical greeting cards are a common example. If it has pieces that could be removed or misused, it won't make it through.

Don't put money in the envelope. Cash and checks are not permitted in inmate mail.
