How to Send Mail to Morgan County Jail After the Off‑Site Scanned‑Mail Change
Morgan County Jail now routes most personal mail through an off-site scanning process. Send to the wrong address or include something the scanner can't handle, and your letter won't reach your loved one.
Morgan County Jail uses a third-party vendor to scan incoming non-legal mail at an off-site location. That means the address for regular friends and family mail is different from the jail's physical address. Send letters to the old location and they'll be delayed or rejected.
Standard mail from friends and family goes to the off-site address. Legal mail is handled differently. Correspondence from lawyers, legal representatives, or media should still go to Morgan County Jail's local physical address. If your letter needs to stay privileged, send it to the local address.
Addressing Requirements
- ✓ Write the inmate’s full name exactly as it appears in jail records.
- ✓ Include the inmate’s ID number.
- ✓ Put a complete return address on the envelope.
Keep everything scanner-friendly. Mail can't be larger than 8½ x 11 inches and must be thin enough to pass through a sheet-fed scanner. Anything that won't run cleanly through the machine is likely to be rejected.
Prohibited Items
- ✓ Stamps
- ✓ Blank envelopes
- ✓ Stationery
- ✓ Any form of currency
Warning: Include prohibited items and your mail may be rejected or destroyed. It won't reach the inmate.
Practical Checklist
- ✓ For standard friends and family mail, use the off-site scanned-mail address.
- ✓ For legal mail (including lawyers and the media), use the Morgan County Jail local physical address.
- ✓ Put the inmate’s full name and inmate ID number on the mail.
- ✓ Include your return address on every envelope.
- ✓ Keep pages 8½ x 11 inches or smaller.
- ✓ Make sure the mail is thin enough to pass through a sheet-fed scanner.
- ✓ Do not include stamps, blank envelopes, stationery, or currency.
Note: Not sure if something counts as legal mail? Send it to the jail's local address instead of the off-site scanned-mail address.
