What to write on the envelope — Morgan County Jail mail checklist
Sending mail to someone at Morgan County Jail? The fastest way to avoid rejection is getting every required detail on the envelope—written clearly and in full.
Quick Checklist Required Items
- ✓ Sender’s complete first and last name (no initials)
- ✓ Sender’s complete return address
- ✓ Inmate’s complete first and last name (no initials)
- ✓ Inmate ID number
- ✓ Correctional institution full name (no abbreviations)
Every envelope needs these items, and they must be complete and legible. Missing or unclear information means your mail won't get through.
The jail is strict about how names appear. Both your name and the inmate's name must be written out completely - first and last. Initials won't cut it. Same goes for the facility name: write "Morgan County Jail" in full, not abbreviated.
Example: Correct: "Jordan Taylor" (return address) → "Alex Morgan, Inmate ID ######" → "Morgan County Jail." Rejected: "J. Taylor" / "A. Morgan" or "Morgan Co. Jail."
If any required information is missing or incomplete, the jail will reject the envelope and discard it unopened. No exceptions.
Note: Leave off one required item and your letter won't be delivered - and don't expect it back.
Not sure of the inmate ID? Check the Sheriff's Office website and look up the inmate roster before mailing. This also confirms the person is currently housed at Morgan County Jail.
