What to Expect When Your Mail Gets Scanned at Montgomery County Jail (Conroe)

Mail at Montgomery County Jail (Conroe) is delivered to inmates electronically, Monday through Friday. That weekday schedule drives most of the timing you'll notice. Don't expect movement over the weekend. If you mail something late in the week, it likely won't reach the facility until the next business day.

Regular personal mail goes through screening before it reaches an inmate. All incoming and outgoing non-privileged mail is subject to search and review. Write with the assumption that staff may read your letters. If you need to share truly sensitive information, personal mail isn't the right channel.

Privileged mail gets different treatment. At Montgomery County Jail (Conroe), privileged mail is opened in the inmate's presence and checked for contraband, but staff won't read the contents. There's still a safety check, just no review of what's actually written. If you're dealing with legal communications, that distinction matters.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Expect weekday-only electronic delivery (Monday through Friday), and plan for slower movement over weekends
• ✓ Assume non-privileged letters can be searched and reviewed, so keep your message appropriate and avoid sharing sensitive details
• ✓ If your mail is meant to be privileged, remember it can be opened to check for contraband (in the inmate’s presence), even though it is not read
• ✓ Keep what you send simple and low-risk. Anything that looks like contraband can delay or stop delivery
