How to Send Mail to Someone at Monroe County Jail (JailATM Address & What Happens Next)
Sending a personal letter to someone at Monroe County Jail? You won't mail it to the jail directly. All personal inmate mail goes through a central processing facility instead. The goal is straightforward: keeping drugs and contraband out. This policy also means that if you send mail to the jail's address out of habit, it won't get through. As of May 18, 2022, personal mail sent directly to Monroe County Jail gets returned to sender.
- Write the inmate’s full name and inmate number - put it in the address so it can be matched to the right person.
- Address the envelope to the JailATM central mail processor - this is where Monroe County Jail personal mail is sent for processing.
- Use the exact address format below - small differences can slow delivery.
- Mail it like a normal letter - once it’s sent, it will go to the JailATM processing location rather than the jail.
Mailing address (personal inmate mail): JailATM.com – Monroe County Jail, Inmate Name/Inmate Number, 925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309
Your letter won't arrive as a physical envelope. Once it reaches the JailATM facility, staff open and scan it. The scanned copy then becomes available electronically to the inmate on facility devices. Here's the catch: that electronic copy stays available for 14 days. If your person says they didn't get your letter, it might still be processing - or the scan may have expired after the 14-day window.
Timing tip: Scanned mail is available to the inmate electronically for 14 days, not kept as a physical letter.
Accidentally sent a letter straight to Monroe County Jail? It's coming back to you. Since May 18, 2022, personal mail received directly at the jail gets returned to sender. Once it arrives back, just re-mail it using the JailATM address format above.
Skip the care packages. Monroe County Jail doesn't accept parcel packages for inmates - they get rejected and returned. That means wasted postage and delays for you.
