How to Address Mail to Someone at Mid-State Correctional Facility (Using Pigeonly)
If your letter is headed to Las Vegas, you're on the right track. Mid-State's standard mail gets routed through Pigeonly first. Use the exact address format below so it can be scanned, screened, and forwarded correctly.
Standard (non-privileged) mail to Mid-State Correctional Facility goes to Pigeonly first - not straight to the prison. Pigeonly opens and scans incoming mail within 24 hours, then shares the electronic scan with the facility for screening. After that, they print the mail and ship the printed copy to NJDOC via Priority Mail. The facility typically receives it within 1–3 days of shipment. That's why your envelope needs to be addressed to a P.O. Box in Las Vegas, even though the person you're writing is incarcerated in New Jersey.
Legal/privileged mail: Privileged or legal mail sent to Pigeonly will be returned to the sender - not delivered. Always include a complete return name and return address so rejected mail can make it back to you.
The address needs three key pieces in this order: the incarcerated person's full name and SBI (inmate) number, the facility name with its code, and the Pigeonly Corrections P.O. Box in Las Vegas. For Mid-State, the facility code is 1404. The mailing destination is Pigeonly Corrections PO Box 96777, Las Vegas, NV 89193.
Here's a sample you can copy line-for-line (just swap in the correct name and SBI number): [Full Name] [SBI Number] Mid-State Correctional Facility – 1404 Pigeonly Corrections PO Box 96777 Las Vegas, NV 89193
Before you seal it up, check the sizing. Envelopes must be no larger than 4 in. x 9½ in., and letter paper must be no larger than 8½ in. x 11 in.
Put your return name and full address on every piece of mail - NJDOC requires it. If your mail can't be processed or delivered, it needs somewhere to go back to. Without a return address, you'll have no way to know what happened to it.
Reminder: Privileged or legal mail that arrives at Pigeonly will be returned to the sender rather than delivered.
Quick Checklist
- ✓ Write the incarcerated person’s full name on the first line
- ✓ Add the person’s SBI (inmate) number right after their name
- ✓ Include Mid-State Correctional Facility – 1404 (don’t leave off the code)
- ✓ Address it to Pigeonly Corrections PO Box 96777
- ✓ Use Las Vegas, NV 89193 as the city/state/ZIP
- ✓ Put your return name and full return address on the envelope
- ✓ Keep the envelope size at 4 in. x 9½ in. or smaller
- ✓ Keep letter paper at 8½ in. x 11 in. or smaller
Once Pigeonly receives your letter, they scan non-privileged mail within 24 hours, then print and ship it to NJDOC. The printed mail arrives at NJDOC facilities within 1–3 days of shipment - so delivery won't follow a typical "straight to the prison" timeline.
