Sending Mail to Muhlenberg County Detention Center: Which Address to Use and When

For regular mail from friends and family, use the PO Box address in Highland Heights. Include the inmate's name and ID on the envelope, formatted like this: Inmate Name - Inmate ID, Muhlenberg County Detention Center, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076.

• ✓ Keep it letter size or smaller: no larger than 8 1/2" x 11".
• ✓ Don’t send anything smaller than postcard size: no smaller than 3 1/2" x 5".
• ✓ Avoid thick paper and bulky items. Mail must be no thicker than light card stock.
• ✓ Make sure it can go through a sheet-fed scanner (flat paper only).

Legal mail from attorneys goes to the facility's street address, not the PO Box. Include the inmate's name and ID: Inmate Name - Inmate ID, Muhlenberg County Detention Center, 108 Court Row, Greenville, KY 42345.

Missing identifying information is the fastest way to get mail rejected. Every piece of incoming mail needs the inmate's full name and inmate ID, even if you've sent mail to that person before.

Include a return address on your envelope. The facility requires one on all incoming mail.
