Sending Mail to Morgan County Correctional Complex: Scanning, Photos, and Ordering Books

Your letter won't go straight from your mailbox to the housing unit. At Morgan County Correctional Complex, mail first arrives at the facility P.O. Box, then gets delivered to the inmate within 1 to 3 business days. Keep that timeline in mind if you're sending a birthday card or time-sensitive paperwork - the clock starts once the P.O. Box receives it, not when you drop it in the mail.

You can send photos, but they'll be scanned along with the rest of your mail. Keep the content clean - photos with profanity or anything considered inappropriate won't make it through. When in doubt, leave it out and pick a different picture.

Books, magazines, and newspapers are allowed, but they have to arrive the right way. This TDOC facility only accepts printed materials mailed directly from the publisher or a recognized commercial distributor. Watch out for online marketplaces that route orders through third-party sellers - those shipments often get rejected because they don't count as recognized distributors.

Tips Avoid Rejection

• ✓ Write the inmate’s name and TDOC ID clearly so it can be read correctly during processing.
• ✓ Build in time: after your mail reaches the facility P.O. Box, delivery to the inmate is typically within 1–3 business days.
• ✓ Assume photos will be scanned, and choose images that won’t be flagged.
• ✓ Don’t send photos with profanity or anything inappropriate - those won’t be delivered.
• ✓ Order books, magazines, and newspapers so they ship directly from the publisher or a recognized commercial distributor (not a third-party seller).
