Visitation

Anyone 12 or older needs to complete a visitation application before visiting Lowell Correctional Institution. You're limited to one application per person, and it must be signed—unsigned applications won't be processed. Submit your completed application by email or U.S. Mail (Lowell provides a specific email address for this). Don't make the trip until the inmate confirms you've been approved. Read the attached visitation policies carefully before you go. Applications with blanks or false information will be denied. Providing false or misleading information is a second-degree misdemeanor and can result in permanent suspension of your visitation privileges. By submitting the application, you acknowledge that criminal background checks are part of the approval process.

Mail & Letters

Following the formatting rules upfront makes sending mail to Lowell Correctional Facility much easier. Incoming mail is classified and inspected—whether it's treated as general or privileged affects handling time and delivery speed. On every envelope, include the inmate's full name and booking/ID number, plus your complete return address. Missing details can cause rejection or delays. Stick to plain paper and acceptable envelopes, and avoid mailing original vital documents. Follow any size or content restrictions the facility posts. Sending a money order through JPay? Be careful: available sources list two different Hollywood PO Box addresses, so confirm which one is currently accepted before mailing. Never include letters or notes with a JPay payment—those get discarded.
