How Madison's New Mail System Works: Why Your Letters Go to Youngstown Now
If you write to someone at Madison, your letters and cards now go to a centralized ODRC mail center in Youngstown. Use the right format and address, and your mail gets routed from there to the institution.
As of May 1, 2024, personal letters and cards from family and friends no longer go directly to Madison. Instead, send them to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Mail Processing Center (OMPC).
On your envelope, put the person's name and number on the first line, then list the OMPC as the recipient. Format the name line like "John Doe R111111" or "John Doe A555555," depending on which number your loved one has.
Below the name and OMPC lines, use the OMPC street address exactly as written. Mail personal correspondence to 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44505.

Questions about OMPC processing? Trying to track down delayed mail? Contact the Mail Processing Center directly at ODRCMailProcessingCenter@drc.ohio.gov or 1-330-333-7372.
Already sent something to the old address? It will be forwarded to the mail processing center, but that extra step slows things down. For time-sensitive mail, resend it to the OMPC address in Youngstown (884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44505) and update your address book going forward.
