At Muhlenberg County Detention, pictures are the only enclosures allowed in inmate mail. Slip anything else in with the photos and your mail won't meet the guidelines. The other limit to know: each inmate can receive up to six photographs per package. Choose your favorites and save the rest for another mailing.

  • Print photos on photo paper
  • Keep photo size at 4 x 6 inches or smaller

Muhlenberg County Detention does not allow provocative material in the mail. Photos considered provocative will be destroyed, so play it safe with what you send.

The facility defines "provocative" broadly. It covers anything that causes annoyance, anger, or another strong reaction, plus anything that could be seen as sexually suggestive. If a photo might fall into either category, pick a different one so your loved one actually receives it.

Warning: Printouts from the internet, colored pages, and provocative material are not permitted at Muhlenberg County Detention and will be destroyed.

  1. Choose six photos or fewer: Each package is limited to up to six photographs.
  2. Print them on photo paper: Regular photo prints are required.
  3. Double-check the size: Keep every photo at 4 x 6 inches or smaller.

To keep your mail from being destroyed, skip internet printouts and colored pages. Avoid anything that could be viewed as provocative under the facility's definition. Stick to neutral content, follow the photo paper and size rules, and your pictures have the best chance of getting through.
